'Chrome (large)' - A new large format edition of Storm Thorgerson's original album cover for the band Catherine Wheel in 1993.
The image sought to capture thye concept that there was more to Catherine Wheel's music than was initially obvious; like an iceberg. Thorgerson explores the imagery of an iceberg in his composition of ballet dancers suspended in water with only a hand breaking through the surface, like the tip of an iceberg. In order to capture an image above and below the water a camera wad placed in a protective fishbowl at water level.
