Projects
- Marketing visual for upcoming book 'The Museum Makers: A Journey Backwards - from Old Boxes of Dark Family Secrets to a Golden Age of Museums'I recently created this visual for an upcoming book by Rachel Morris to be used in bookshops and online. The image evokes the central concept of the book - making sense of our memories and the stories attached to pieces that we inherit from the past.
- 'The Great British Seaside: Photography from the 1960s to the Present' Exhibition, National Maritime Museum, LondonI designed the exhibition which showcased the works of four photographers: Martin Parr, Tony Ray-Jones, David Hurn and Simon Roberts. In the middle of the exhibition is a series of abstracted beach huts, which housed a seaside cinema showing short films of the photographers. The exhibition ran for the summer of 2018.
- National Maritime Museum's New Parkside Entrance, LondonI designed the National Maritime Museum's new parkside entrance fitout, which included a new reception desk, a 'Welcome Wall' (featuring a large video well and new wayfinding), and improved lighting, to create better visitor welcome, orientation and celebrating the museum's metanarrative themes.
- Parc Olympique, Lausanne, SwitzerlandI led the design and curation of the world class sculptures as part of the visitor journey through the Parc Olympique in Lausanne, Switzerland, while working with Metaphor. The video animation by Fabrice Bourelly shows the proposed scheme which was implemented in 2014
