Looking at the On Being Ill cover, I wonder what she was thinking. It reminds me of a camera's lens – as if in reference to the different perspective that illness brings. A oblique reference, not one that pounds you over the head. You are right, such a human scale, and it must have been so satisfying for both of them to make something together.
