Happy Song for You
Skip to sidebar
Ominous moving objects create tension while a ‘happy’ song plays. Stanya Kahn’s morbid, humorous collaboration with painter Llyn Foulkes, whose unique three-dimensional approach serves as an inspiration, features the artist blindfolded, covered with blood and dust, and an original song written and performed by Foulkes.
