ABOUT

Artwork for a double vinyl album in gloss finish gatefold sleeve for Ever Vivid 'States of Being' on Exalt Records.

The first time I listened to this album, before it even had a title, the music gave me images of something broken or smashed. When I found out it was to be called States of Being that idea made even more sense.

I explored imagery around the broken theme and came across a library image of broken glass and hit on the idea to put a person at the centre of it, the fracture lines radiating out from the figure, a suitable metaphor for the music. Centre labels are dark for the A/B vinyl and light for C/D to reflect the light and shade of life's ups and downs.
