The album art

The cover photograph as well as the photo inside the album was taken by Mark Kraus (my dad) who created these in college at Ohio University in the 80s as a photography Fine Arts major. I discovered them in the basement in recent years, tucked away in a box alongside other work I had never seen before. These images stayed in my mind these past few years and I felt that the way I connected to them related to some of the songs on this album: believing in something ‘beyond,’ going ‘beyond,’ and discovering/revealing and presenting/sharing that which may initially be hidden. A search, a longing, a finding. Balancing, suspending, and transcending, even if only in small moments and ways.
