  • The Return of The Repressed
    The Return of The RepressedWorking in collaboration with Emily Anderson to produce a catalogue and visual concept for her imagined exhibition, The Return of The Repressed, the outcomes focus on themes of childhood and fragmented memory. Using abstract re-creations of the exhibited work, broken up across the catalogues constituent double-paged spreads, the editorial design hints at their fleeting role as merely ‘transitional objects’. This idea of recreating the exhibition’s art objects comes from the Chicago Imagists, wh
