Jessie Nash on Creating the Artwork for Pond's New Album
Australian artist Jessie Nash, now based in a seaside UK town, was commissioned via Instagram DM by Pond to create the album and single cover for their upcoming album "Terrestrials," releasing June 19. Nash listened to demos and used reference words like "desperate," "Oz," "agro," and "hot?" to guide her. She painted kaleidoscopic portraits of the band from unposed selfies, aiming to capture both individual members and otherworldly beings. The chaotic, heated color scheme was key. Nash, who also makes ceramics, finds inspiration in personal environments and female painters. She cites "Two Hands" as her favorite track on the album. The collaboration is featured in frankie issue 132.
