Here I tried to coordinate elements of the song to the piece. Speech balloons are embroidered with lines of text. Repeated lyrics share the same fabric pattern: “Because I’m happy!”, “Clap along”, “ if you feel”. The two lines that don’t repeat each have their own pattern:“Like a room without a roof” and “Like happiness is a truth.” Rows of “Happy” in red and yellow fabric paint on the potholder represent the backup track.
An uptempo neo-soul song first released in 2013, Happy was the favorite tune of John Lewis, caught dancing on YouTube in 2018.
