These are examples of singer/songwriter David Ford's album artwork. I find these graphics fascinating. The almost ghostly figures along with the vivid colours give a real feeling of fantasy and the supernatural. Although I dont feel that this description of how I view these images echoes the style or the sound of his music, I think upon hearing some of David Ford's music it becomes clear that these are very suitable images for his CD artwork. I have tried looking into where the images are from and have found that they are from Karen Taylor's "paper dress performance III". I am still looking more into this but am struggling to find any further information on it or on Karen Taylor herself. If anyone finds anything or knows more on the subject then please leave a comment.

Like you, I am a big fan of David Ford's music. Most of his tracks are heart-felt and depict the strains and problems that he perceives in the world. I feel that the imagery for his album complements the music well. The ghostly figures of what appears to be people, contorted against a translucent screen gives a real feeling of struggle or turmoil. The lyrics of his songs depict this well, but at the same time, have the philosophy that 'shit happens so get on with it'.
