playlist mess around with Johanna Mueller

Johanna and I first met when we both participated in a group show around 2015. Her work is meticulous, as is the playlist she put together. 

Here are her favorite studio jams, day and night, and a rapid-fire interview to get to know her better.

Listen on Spotify :: studio days / nights

MK: What are you working on presently?

JM: A new woodcut, my version of "Eve" a doe deer with a snake in her belly. I am fascinated with the way organized religion and patriarchy have taken animals associated with the feminine or the goddess and manipulated the meaning to subvert the context. Snakes shed their skin, and were seen as creatures of rebirth, a symbol for the creator itself, aligned with the feminine. 

MK: What was the last album you listened to start to finish?

JM: Dua Lipa's Future Nostalgia

MK: What’s the vibe for summer 2025? What song will you be playing on repeat?

JM: Hmmm.... I think I will be listening to The Killers Everything Will Be Alright, and trying it out as a new mantra, too

MK: What’s your hype song?

JM: When I want to kick my run into high gear and "play a song with a F$*k!ng beat!" I turn up Chappel Roan's Femininomenon
