Changes

==Cover Art==
On his website[http://www.russellmills.com/mills/installations/committere.html], Russell Mills explained the ideas and materials used for the paintings that made up became the painting (titled "Wound") that was used for album cover and the inner cover:/j-card insert.
About "Wound" (used for the album cover):<blockquote>"I had been thinking about making works that dealt with layers, physically, materially and conceptually. I wanted to produce works that were about both exposure and revealing and at the same dealt with closure and covering. Given the nature of the lyrics and the power of the music I was working with, I felt justified in attempting to make works that alluded to the apparently contradictory imagery of pain and healing. I wanted to make beautiful surfaces that partially revealed the visceral rawness of open wounds beneath. The mixed media work Wound was the first piece I tackled in this vein (no pun intended) and it became the cover of the album. It is made of plaster, acrylics, oils, rusted metals, insects, moths, blood (mine), wax, varnishes, and surgical bandaging on a wooden panel."[http</blockquote> About "Future Echoes" (used for the inner cover)://www<blockquote>"At the time of this commission I had also been reading and researching into ideas about transformation, transmutation and regeneration. ... I was also interested in how organic matter can provide clues for past lives and past events. One hair from a human head carries enough DNA for that person to be identified. Similarly our teeth, which, after death, survive longer than any other part of our bodies, are carriers of intimate details of past lives. The piece I made focuses on teeth and their associative potential.russellmillsA row of teeth is embedded in flows of salt crystals.com/mills/installations/committereSalt corrodes all but gold and glass; it is destructive as well as preservative.html]"</blockquote>
