Donnette Thayer - Shelter

 

If you're wondering who Donnette actually is, and what she has to do with The Church, she's the wonderful singer on the two Hex albums that came from her collaboration with Steve Kilbey.
She was also a member of the band Game Theory. Her latest album is called Chaos And Wonder.

I designed these for Donnette in ’91 I believe. I remember her saying I was the first person to capture the music visually. I was told that Steve saw either these or some I did for her later, and liked them
