YEAR2023I built a modular system for all promotional elements of Composer and Sound Artist Jeff Kolar’s Rock Speaker Garden, a multi-channel audio installation created for outdoor rock speakers. The system was based around a set of photographs of the outdoor rock speakers Jeff collected for his site-responsive work. I produced the images in grayscale for print economy, but we splurged on a nice stock (shout out to French Paper) that nodded to the sandstone finish of the speakers. We used the system for print and digital assets.
This was a full production by me:

Here I am photographing each rock speaker in Jeff’s studio.
