The migration of artists like Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf to the City of Chicago brought about a new style of blues framed by large skyscrapers, an evolving industry, and a longing for home. I wanted to represent these artist and their ambitions to “make it big” in the context of a growing city, rising with skyscrapers and flooding with activity.
The rectangular cuts represent the Chicago cityscape which frame rambunctiously painted colors and strokes that speak to the hustle and bustle of the Chicago music scene.
