Stoney Creation, Repair

Skyler Vander Molen

From Below + Pocket Pictures

Repair is a very different kind of song and unlike anything I’ve worked on. After a couple months of calls and texts with Stoney, we landed on a concept that explored the duality in each of us by dramatizing the process of coming to terms with our kaleidoscopic nature. No one is all light or dark, we’re all a complex mixture of forces that constantly shift and change. We wanted to bring that inner conflict to life by showing the many different sides of Stoney and her journey towards integration.
