Just getting back from a quick trip home to the beautiful PNW. Got a chance to catch up with Rob Sheridan, and get a tour of the “Sheridan Studio” where all the amazing footage of Pearl Jams new “Dark Matter” background video footage was created.
I’m not sharing secrets but it’s impressive to see that many of the images/motions were made by hand, while others were with the use of simple devices, but leave it to Rob & Stephanie Sheridan with the help of Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament and some pretty amazing magic can happen.
These photos debuted at the Ohana Festival this year and were some of the fans favorites.
There are 6 limited edition photos, shot in Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena. Each photo is an edition of 25, available in 2 sizes and are signed and numbered by Rob Sheridan.
Link to art shoppe on the profile page w proceeds benefiting the Vitalogy Foundation.

Rob Sheridan is a Seattle-born and based multi-disciplinary artist, designer, photographer, author, and creative director. Working closely with his producer/wife Stephanie Sheridan, Rob’s work has raised money and awareness for humanitarian aid, environmental causes, voting rights, racial justice, LGBTQ+ rights, mental health awareness, wildfire relief, and ocean conservation.
In December of 2023, Eddie Vedder approached Rob Sheridan to create on-stage visuals for Pearl Jam’s, Dark Matter World Tour. It is the first time the band has ever used supporting visuals for their live performances.
To create the work, Rob and Stephanie converted a small space in an old industrial building into a “lab” of sorts where they spent months immersed in experimental filmmaking. Opting for analog tools and practical elements instead of computer generated effects, the couple trained their 1000fps slow-motion camera and macro lenses on an array of organic materials. Together they traced patterns in nature from the microscopic to the cosmic.
From a droplet in a petri dish to the vast waves of the ocean; from the first sparks of a flame to billowing flares on the surface of the sun; from the nucleus of the iris to the nebulas of the cosmos; we are all one, connected by the invisible forces of Dark Matter.
rob_sheridan's profile picture Thanks to everyone who picked up one of my signed @pearljam rehearsal photo prints at the Ohana art show and supported the Vitalogy Foundation! I recently signed the remaining prints here at our studio where we filmed most of the #DarkMatterTour visuals (pic 2), and they are now available online exclusively via @adlersmithgallery - check their bio link! Only a handful of these, they would make a great gift for PJ fans and support a great cause!
There are six different official framed signed/numbered metallic pearl fine art prints of rare photos I captured at the only Peal Jam dress rehearsal for Dark Matter at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle earlier this year, and proceeds benefit PJ’s Vitalogy Foundation.
