Porridge Radio - Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky
The album artwork for Porridge Radio’s Waterslide, Diving Board, Ladder To The Sky (2022) all started as studies on scraps of paper of depictions of the biblical story of Jacob’s ladder, photos of public swimming pools and holiday resorts, and spiral staircases.
The process began looking at the paintings of William Blake and Marc Chagall and evolved onwards from there. At the bottom of this page are 3 large and more abstract paintings that marked the end of the Waterslide artwork journey. These paintings used early computer generated images to create tiny surrealistic landscape compositions which were then detailed and expanded.
