Nick Robertson, the artist behind Brian Eno's album cover for FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE, explores the design in detail and what inspired the unique album art.
"As is so often the case when creating artwork for an album, the end product is not fully conceived from the outset, but rather the result of serendipity & coincidence, accident & sympathy. The artwork for FOREVERANDENDEVERNOMORE Started life as a set of completely unconnected projects which seemed to find themselves intertwined as the ideas and the music developed.
During lock-down I became extremely interested in the unlikely subject of electricity pylons.They are objects we don’t look at because they we’re not meant to. They are not designed to be looked at and still less, admired. They have a completely unembellished form; purely functional celebrants of the ‘authenticity of appearance’. My interest in these pillars is primarily aesthetic, as I am one of those small number of people who think that they are simply very beautiful structures.
It was whilst walking in the fields around Northumberland that I saw a pylon standing alone by a copse and just beyond it, from behind the trees rose the spire of a country church. It was here that I began to recognise similarities between these man-made monoliths to electricity and the conventions of church architecture, which connect the country with a different kind of energy, spires being their beacons. It was this connection between physical and emotional energy that I started to explore in a series of images called ‘PULŌN’."
