An explanation of the cover art of, "Whatever Sticks Most".

From a far, the shape in the centre of the cover resembles the continent of Africa. This represents a common dwelling place, for man and woman.
Up close, the viewer can see that it's actually a human heart. The lake and rivers were added to help provide a dual symbol as a land mass also.
This represents the common rhythm, that beats inside both men and women.

The yoke with the male and female symbols, balanced across the dual meaning symbol, and pointing away from each other, is intended to symbolize overall, that although man and woman share a common dwelling place (earth) and share a common internal rhythm (the heart beat), once our worlds intertwine we are presented with the difficulty of balance and understanding.

It was roughly sketched by yours truly, then presented to the artist, Joanne Wilson, who created the art work on canvas, using the modern betik method.
