The title In Thin Air inspired the shell gold feather on the front cover, which delicately shines alone in an expanse of air, echoing the Fallen Feather song from the album. It just so happens that the feather that Jackie used in this artwork was itself a ‘fallen feather’ that she found hiding among artworks in her studio!
