J.K. Putnam’s photography is beautiful and we could easily have put a single image on each page but we wanted to show as much of Scott Jordan’s collection possible. We looked to auction catalogs for influence. These have to balance making the objects look desirable while also being economical with image usage. 

A flexible grid allowed us to fit almost a high number of images on each page.

Full-page images used at intervals break up the repetitive nature of the photo grid and keep the reader interested.

The last section of the book displays Scott Jordan’s own artwork constructed from broken and unrepairable artifacts.
