The guitar is more than a musical instrument. It is an archetype. In homage, 'Light Strings' brings together two masters of their craft: photographer Ralph Gibson and former guitarist for the Police, Andy Summers.
Gibson's enigmatic and sensuously elegant photographs are the visual counterpart to Summers' lyrical history and thoughtful exploration of the instrument's features. Together they create a unique poetic meditation on the guitar. Both
artists pay attention to the form of the guitar and its relationship to the body, noting in particular the way its curves echo the human figure.
