This highly graphic design is an amalgam of something observed in nature, a natural event, and an interpretation of the title. I imagined that the splinter of the title might be the splinter that broke a heart, the heart of a lover betrayed, which I am sure was probably the subject of one or two of the songs. And the thing that I saw in nature occurred one night on my way home when I saw a very bright moon, positioned low and symmetrical down the street where I live, seeming unnaturally close, unnaturally large. The idea also also involves an echo of a Canadian TV show called The Kids in the Hall, where large close up fingers are seen to squash someone’s head at a distance, with a voice over gleefully saying - I’m crushing your head! This also works on the principal of spatial association. So I envisaged the splinter as a sharp moon, a crescent moon, about to pierce the heart of a lover like a scimitar, although only spatially speaking of course, seeming both angular and poetic like the music. And what more appropriate weapon to stab or splinter the heart of a lover than the moon, normally a lover’s preserve. <<

Edition 20/20

20/20 is a series of prints which are more obscure and more personal, not necessarily frontline images but ones which are highly valued by Storm Thorgerson. The series compromises 20 different images for a variety of bands including Pink Floyd, The Cranberries, The Mars Volta, Ethnix, Catherine Wheel, Phish, and Muse amongst others. The edition size is limited to only 20 of each image, hence
20/20.

Each print is signed, numbered and embossed with a custom designed 20/20 symbol. Each print purchased will come with descriptive notes and technical details.

NB Collectors purchasing 5 or more images at the same time will also receive a specially made limited edition 20/20 box. <<
