Sound Personified

Baldvin Ringsted’s practice spans sculpture, painting, collage, and video, exploring the relationship between sound, memory, and image. The book’s cover draws from the reflective surfaces of Ringsted’s mirror sculptures and the layered compositions of his painting collages. The interior is structured on an eight-column grid, referencing the eight notes of a musical scale. A humanist sans-serif for headings contrasts with a modern serif for body text, echoing the tension between organic gesture and precise intervention present in Ringsted’s work. While the grid establishes order, captions subtly shift horizontally to align with prominent vertical elements in the artwork, allowing the layout to respond directly to each piece.
