5 day brief

Design an album cover, using elements handmade by me.

I was inspired by an underground art movement called "The Rivington School" made up of metal workers and forgers, active in the Lower East Side of Manhattan NY at the time of the original album release.

Each letter was handcrafted from a combination of aluminium sheeting, copper and galvanised wire. Treated with paint, acid, solder or engraving.
