To mark 21 years of NZ Music Month (Te Marama Pūoro o Aotearoa), Art of the Record is a showcase of 21 distinctive album covers. Four artists, whose work features in the exhibition, speak to
their inspiration, memories and process for their pieces.
Absolute Truth.
Artist: Anns Taylor
James, who is Lawrence Arabia, but also mainly my boyfriend, said, "Why don't we make a map of my face?" and that's basically where it started. I work closely with James on all his artwork and sometimes things can get a bit heated, especially when he's looking over my shoulder trying to make suggestions, but we always end up with work I am proud of.
