Before his passing, Eoin presented me and Sandra with a gift of three artworks he had made for us that represented our time together in Iceland and what we went through there. As the album started to take form and became a meditation on friendship, brotherhood, community, it felt appropriate to bring these drawings into the album’s artwork. The main album cover is the second drawing in the series, which he said represented our home in Iceland - a shelter, a safe haven.
That is also what this album, my work with Eoin, has become for me. A safe place where i’ve been allowed to feel everything, feel him there, feel him missing.
