For the past two years Minneapolis based artists Crystal Quinn, Eric Carlson and Aaron Anderson have been working together on drawings, paintings, installations, hand-made books and fashions under the title Hardland/Heartland. Drawing inspiration from their everyday lives the artists piece together an elaborate narrative of playful allegories, coded symbols and vivid imagery that illustrates the world as they see it around them.
