About The Silver Thread
The Silver Thread is an online journal edited by Sparrow Hall—the leading authority in independent transmedia entertainment—exploring the latest in creative innovation.
The Silver Thread was inspired by Edie Sedgwick—artist and muse of Andy Warhol—who, in her short life, became a nexus point of collaboration, creative expression and modern media. Edie’s brother, author John Sedgwick, once said he believed Edie’s spirit was connected to the earth by a “silver thread”—one that was broken the day she died.

If we imagine that we’re all tethered to the earth by that same silver tread, that it runs through each of us, tying all of our stories into one great narrative, then there is no limit to how we might express it. A book, a song, an image, a new technology—they are all part of our collective life experience, and that is what’s being explored here on The Silver Thread.
