The album cover for The Hum. It reads: The Hum. Lia Pas. The image is of Lia’s embroidery, “sensorium” with a purple navy tinge and dark purple navy bars on either side. In the centre of some bone white linen, there is a spine in thick satin stitch. Emanating from the spine are thick burgundy & navy lines in an undulant oval shape. The rest of the undulant oval is filled with fine coiling burgundy lines.
