Painting inspired by Mend

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

In the past months many people have been asking us about our album cover wanting to know more about the image . The contortionist image is actually a painting created by Montreal artists known as MTAF (Krista Bursey and Jason Wasserman). This 48″x 36″ painting was inspired by the song Mend. This contortionist represents Elsieanne’s vocal melodies, it’s what they called a Vocal contortion.

For us this work symbolizes and evokes many key elements that coincide with the music; the connection to the human body and soul, anxiety and paranoia as well as a discomforting beauty.
