Limited edition fine art print - Rick Wright Broken China by Storm Thorgerson

Storm Thorgerson’s image for the cover of Rick Wright’s 1996 solo album ‘Broken China’ is one of a series of twenty prints, each in an edition of twenty known as the 2020 Series. Storm describes for us how this image came about . . .

"For Rick’s record we saw a woman divided by a disc of water, being whole and natural as she dived in, legs of flesh and bone, but fractured as she came though the other side, the upper body now made of broken china.

"It seemed an elegant and lyrical way of suggesting a breakdown, in sympathy with the music, and appropriate that the fractured half was literally made of pieces of broken china like a cracked jug. Also appropriate that the trauma was represented by a disc of water, not something heavy and dark, but more lyrical and liquid like the music."
