Since the record came out we've had a lot of people ask about the artwork and indeed, what the hell it is. Well, Claire has decided to give a little insight: "I always knew that I wanted the album cover to be an image of a sculpture with moving parts. I used to love making sculptures using water: I really liked watching and hearing the water wheels spin in the studio, so I knew I wanted to somehow incorporate my visual artwork into the record too. I had a vague image in my head since starting the album of how I wanted the cover to look, but I knew that I also wanted to make something that visually represented how making this record has been for us, and how we see the sound we have made. The sculpture was created immediately after finishing the final mix of the album, and we had two weeks to get the artwork made, photographed and printed, so everything was still really fresh in our minds. The music we make is electronic for the most part, but, as a lot of kind people have written, it has a human heart. I wanted to combine mechanistic and natural/anatomical imagery to reflect this. The cog-like wheels spin from a stream of water that pours from two mouths, with flowers growing from the bowl-shaped vessels of the jaws. To make the faces, we cast our own mouths in alginate and set them in plaster. I then drilled into our faces so that the tube from the water pumps could slot through. They are painted a shimmery silver and gold. As well as being representative of the music, the image also represents to me how finding a form of expression can be cathartic and therapeutic, and can make things happen: the outpouring water makes the wheels spin. Our friend and brilliant photographer Andrew Brooks then lit and photographed the sculpture for us, and beautifully captured the beads of water as they were scattered by the moving wheels." |
