The Photo is The Title
One photo, 157 words.
We've been curious about what happens to the things we make once they leave our studio. Where they end up, how they're used, and what other people might see in them.
As part of an ongoing series of collaborations, we invited photographer and artist Ben Huynh to make something with The Good Set. We gave him complete freedom to approach the objects however he wanted, with his direction about what the final photographs might look like.
We then shared Ben's photographs with our friend CL Young, a poet and multidisciplinary artist based in Hailey, Idaho. CL selected one image and responded to it through their own writing.
We love the idea of passing something along and seeing what happens in someone else's hands. We're excited to share what came back.
