Tributes: I See the Moon

I See the Moon
Miss Katie Ness writes in to say:

I am a 27 year old mixed media artist from the UK who works with video art, Arabic dance, illustration, sensory room installations, poetry, collage and much more. I enjoy making children’s book illustrations, embellishing my costumes with broken jewellery and old pieces of junk and painting Henna patterns on my hands. Art and Belly Dance make me happy and my ambition life is to become an expressive arts therapist to help others express their emotions through art. This illustration was inspired by your song/poem about the moon…

What a lovely illustration.  She’s talking about the first few lines of “Astronaut” which go:

I see the Moon, the Moon sees me.
the Moon sees somebody that I don’t see.
God bless the Moon and God bless me.
And God bless the somebody that I don’t see.
If I get to Heaven before you do
I’ll make a hole and pull you through.
And I’ll write your name on every star,
that way the world won’t seem so far.

I didn’t actually write those words, they are from an old children’s song. But I did make up the melody that I sing it to. You can click here to watch the video of Astronaut. You should also check out Katie’s website for more of her work!
