Hard to believe it’s been 10 years since #HesitationMarks, the last NIN album I worked on. The great Russell Mills (who did the iconic artwork for #TheDownwardSpiral) returned to create new paintings for this album. I took macro photographs of the paintings in the same way I did for the 10th anniversary deluxe package of The Downward Spiral, finding little moments in all the incredible details and textures of Russell’s massive physical pieces. Shown here are some of my photography from the interior package, and a couple photos of one-of-a-kind original production proofs from the album, which I’m auctioning off tomorrow (Sunday) with some other extremely rare NIN artifacts from my personal collection (see my broadcast channel for details). These are unique pieces of working production NIN art that have been in my storage for a decade, and do not exist anywhere else. I hope they’ll find a good home with a fan who will appreciate and care for them. Partial proceeds go to food banks helping people affected by natural disasters. Russell’s “paintings” are more like collages of various materials: paint, dirt, insects, wires, old photos, teeth, blood… He created them in the UK, so they were sent to my home in LA at the time in a huge crate, and lived in my detached studio for a while as I photographed them. My studio didn’t really have room for these massive pieces, so for a time I was working amidst a surreal, claustrophobic warehouse of dead things and old blood. As such, this imagery is sort of permanently a part of me, implanted into the texture of my memory from a strange time in my life. Hesitation Marks was released August 30th, 2013. #nin #nineinchnails #robsheridan #russellmills
