Sister Ananse Road Trip Fingering
The allure of the open road - potential, wonder, liberation, and adventure that unfurl themselves along the journey in unexpected ways. This collection was dyed for String Theory by Naima Bond to celebrate this nearly magical effect of the road trip, and a few movies that revolve around just that theme!
Naima dyes as Sister Ananse, in Chicago, with the eye of the painter she trained to be - Oberlin, then the School of the Art Institute. This collection is hers and ours alone; you'll find it only at String Theory.
