mood II
The second installment of our new series, a mood, is with artist Alyson Provax.
In this feature, we've invited artists to share images, either of their own or from others that inspire them, on our blog and Instagram. A short piece of writing; a description of the mood board, a poem, or other writing may be included by the artist, as well as a music playlist or other aspects of ephemera related to the artist’s vision.
Here we are: all alone, feeling everything together, like islands. This collection goes well with sitting near a window and noticing your breath.
