STRING THING #2 / ANDY MEYERSON

WEST OAKLAND SOUND SERIES

Made by Fae Ordaz and Penina Biddle-Gottesman, the first String Thing was born from a bucket of discarded piano bass strings. Fastened with nails to two blocks of scrap wood, at their best they produced a low resounding thud. A year later the second String Thing came to fruition, this time made of harpsichord strings and a cigar box, fashioned with guitar pegs, heart-shaped holes, and bridges. These strings are strong and thin, bending and stretching with the bodies that animate them. STRING THING #2 exists in the space between the two bodies that wear it, and the bonded trust. They are its backbone. Without them it makes no sound.
