“I'm tryna blow bubbles, but inside
Can't seem to fix my mood. Today it's as dark as my roots
If I, if I ever let them grow out. Now all of my oceans have riptides
Can't seem to find what's wrong. The whole world is letting me down
Don't you think the early 2000s seem so far away?Ladies, begin your sun salutations
Transcendental in your meditations (love and light)
You can burn sage, and I'll cleanse the crystals
We can get high, but only if the wind blows (blows just right)I can’t feel a thing so I keep looking at my mood ring.
Tell me how I'm feeling. Floating away, floating away”
Commissioned piece based on natal chart and anecdotes for new baby
Opening of Commission - delivered on first birthday
Listen and Get Inspired!
Music and my personal brand of art will always be deeply intertwined. While I create, there is almost always a song or a lyric that inspired the feeling, that in turn inspires my art. This piece was inspired by lyrics from the song Mood Ring by Lorde.
Check out the song that started it all and support the artist who helped me create mine (by giving their music a listen)!
