| In March 2005, Vancouver artists Hadley + Maxwell invited
the members of OTHYRWORLD to participate in a tribute to Ken
Lum's 1990 work WE ARE SACRED BLADE. Shot by photographer Sven
Boecker, WE ARE OTHYRWORLD becomes the second major art piece
to feature former SACRED BLADE members Jeff Ulmer, Ted Zawadzki
and Randy Robertson. The piece debuted at the Western Front
Gallery in Vancouver alongside a video in which Jeff
describes the creation of the SACRED BLADE cover art, and contrasts
it with that on the debut OTHYRWORLD CD. [more] |
