[The photograph was] taken by Joni from the seat of a concert hall in Detroit. 'Something about that (view) appealed to me as an abstract painting - the blue blobs where the knees are, the checkerboard grid at the top. I like the way it looks, but more than that, it was just impulse,' she says. She used the picture as part of the 'Miles of Aisles' cover, drawing in the rest of the cover by extending the photograph's with primarily orange and blue inks.
