I designed these interior signs to work cohesively as a foursome, but also each communicate a separate aspect of the. Museum’s programming and mission. They incorporate the Museum’s brand colors as well as represent a recent shift in design style I’m implementing across Museum communications as part of its brand management.
I was asked to create poster art for Tara Chugh of The Sirens‘ upcoming show with Gniffke and Sharkeologist at the Central Saloon. They liked both options I sent so much, that they’re using both!
A little recap from another beautiful TIMBER! Outdoor Music Festival The space for community, music, nature, art, and family that Kevin Sur and everyone at Artist Home creates with this festival is unique and unrivaled. I’m so proud to get to be a small part of it, and so lucky I get to share it with my family and chosen family 😌
Look at this lineup! This weekend at TIMBER! Outdoor Music Festival is going to be even more fun than making this poster art was…Can’t wait to wake up with a dip in the river, have some breakfast around the campfire, a walk across the bridge for music in the sun, hot dogs, more river floating, more music, and finish it off with even more incredible music in the forest under stars…
This exhibition was a challenge to film–to capture the light and glow in the darkness of the gallery. But I was excited to pair the footage with the animated exhibition title graphic I’d created as well as the vhs-glitched list of artists I created for display as part of the exhibition design. What an incredible exhibition! Curated by Ellen Ito at Tacoma Art Museum, HAUNTED “explores cinema as spectral memory, temporal disruption, and the protean meaning of being haunted. Sited at the intersection between cultural memory and lost futures, Haunted crosses sensory and disciplinary thresholds, examining the ways in which the past —both real and imagined —inform our present and future. Haunted contains moving image, installation, sculptural, and photographic works conjured from architecture, technology, pop culture, heritage, and nature. These works dissolve the separation between now and then, visitations to that which is present yet not real.”
To commemorate their 90th anniversary, Tacoma Art Museum wanted to create some hats and shirts using a vintage logo from the 1970s. I jumped at the opportunity to create something that felt both old school and fresh…This is a video I created to promote the new items.
Here’s a look back at this year’s Día de los Muertos Festival at the Tacoma Art Museum. Known in English as Day of the Dead, this life-affirming celebration of the eternal cycle of life has been observed for centuries. Day of the Dead combines ancient and colonial traditions, folk customs, and spiritual beliefs. Celebrated in Mexican and Latin American communities on November 1 and 2, Día de los Muertos is a powerful, symbolic way to honor relatives and friends who have died.
I created a teaser video for upcoming exhibition Gossip: Between Us, curated by Victoria Miles at Tacoma Art Museum. I created this video to match the poster and title design I also created for the exhibition, using an element of the exhibition itself–the kitchen table, where all the best gossip happens.
Tacoma Art Museum’s newest long term exhibition Gossip: Between Us draws from the museum’s permanent collection to spotlight women and queer artists—particularly those whose work embodies the tradition of “gossip.” Featuring works by Barbara Kruger, Joyce J. Scott, Carrie Mae Weems, and more, these artists engage in gossip not only as subject matter but as methodology, embedding within their work the textures of lived experience, cultural memory, and communal care. I worked with the exhibition curator Victoria Miles whose vision for the exhibition and poster design was influenced by zine aesthetic and the imagery of women joyously communicating.
