Cover art for Knotty Pine lyrics by Dirty Projectors

i think the lyrics describe a picture. "When I see them When I hear them I see regions of sharp precision" meaning its a sharp picture and "Tied together with rope and twine Stuck together with paste and glue Two old planks of knotty pine A couple of nails that poke right through" is the picture. i dont know, thats just my interpretation.
