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.”

Exhibition Trailer // “Echoes of the Floating World” at Tacoma Art Museum
Here’s an exhibition trailer I created for Tacoma Art Museum’s Echoes of the Floating World guest curated by artist Kenji Stoll. Kenji talks about the connections between the Edo era artists of Japan and contemporary artists from Tacoma featured in the upcoming exhibition. I paired a motion version of the poster design I created for graphic elements and added original background music I created.
Echoes of the Floating World highlights the continuing influence of Japan’s ukiyo-e woodblock prints on contemporary art in the Pacific Northwest. The exhibition features a striking collection of 18th-, 19th- and early 20th-century Japanese woodblock prints from the Tacoma Art Museum and others, displayed alongside works by contemporary Northwest artists. This exhibition honors the rich legacy of ukiyo-e while exploring its cultural impact on today’s artistic expressions. “What’s really cool about this show is that you’ll see these [woodblock prints] in person, and you’ll also see the ways in which they influence artists who live and work right in our community…It’s a full circle moment.” –Kenji Stoll. The exhibition will also showcase the works of several regional contemporary artists, including a mural by Stoll.
