Thorgerson has designed some iconic album work including the cover forPink Floyd’s Dark side of the moonWhat Storm aims to get from his work is toinsight interest as well as to get people tolook again. “People can easily listen to musicagain, but it is difficult to look at a pictureagain.” Said Storm. “Amoral, Contrary onpurpose and unlikely” are some of the wordsStorm chooses to describe his work. He triesto avoid process and reluctantly says that mostof his work consists of hard work. Jokinglyhe includes that “for art, you do anything”.Over years he has come to understand thatmusicians have stories to tell and he isthere to help them visually tell the story.“Bands appreciate the effort… well we liketo think they appreciate it.” Storm said.Even with his walking stick and grandpapants, Storm is still giving it his all. The workthat he has done in the past and the work at theexhibition can be seen as a direct reflectionof his colourful, creative and crazy mind thatproduces these wonderful pieces of artworkand are a significant edition towards definingalbum art as an art form in its own right.eopleIdeasTedTalkScreening & DiscussionwithKate Wells & Lindy Stiebel“How the internet is changing traditionalPlacesart forms and creating new ones”Date: 28 March 2012Venue: Alliance Francaise,DurbanTime: 19:00Entry Fee: R30
