My husband was invited to tour with Jenny Lewis and I hadn’t heard her music. In order to familiarize myself with her style I made these shirts while listening to her album “The Voyager”. Making something while I’m listening allows me to connect with the sounds and lyrics in a deeper way. Because I’m aiming to represent what I’m hearing I pay more attention to the phrasing, instrumentation, production, and lyrics. I was initially moved by the smooth quality of Jenny’s voice. It’s powerful but gentle. This was represented by the simplicity of the fabrication. The bold colors in bright tones lean towards the optimistic vibe I feel through her songs. The small prints look like the sound of a full band with composed parts. Contrasting collars sound like high extended notes at the front of the mix.
