Client University of the Arts Exhibition Natura Feminae The Challenge Immerse visitors in an exhibition that explores historical and contemporary artworks of women, beginning with 19th century scientific illustrations.

Bridge different time periods and modalities throughout the journey.

The Idea Create a wandering path with grand, transitional moments that leverage natural forms in a contemporary way.

In addition to researching the scientific illustrations, I began researching and sourcing images about women in the arts in Philadelphia roughly between 1890-1920.

The areas between zones in the exhibition required transitional treatments.

The idea was to use murals painted by local artists.

Inspiration: Jules BastienLepage | Joan of Arc

The feeling Lush overgrown gardens, the smell of petrichor in the air, gentle soundscapes, walking into the unknown with wonder and curiosity.

Client Science History Institute Artist in Residence Anna Mlasowsky Installation Enabling Transparency The Challenge Artist-in-residence project to be installed in museum lobby case. Work directly with artist and client to establish graphic identity and layout for in-progress work.

The Idea Explore the connections between this show and Anna’s previous work. Create a look that is strong with softness, speaking to the materiality of the work.

Looking to Anna as an artist for inspiration.

The pink vessel was the only known piece going into the case.

Anna’s work I began exploring ideas of hard and soft

Exhibition Plant Radio The Challenge How do we encourage people to “stop and smell the roses?” How do we create experiences that allow people to engage with plants in a novel way?

The Idea Using new technology that converts plant sounds into an audible source, could we live stream the plant sounds in our gardens? Something to listen to if you can’t sleep. Something to listen to when you do sleep. Tune in anytime.

Feel connected.

Create unexpected multi-sensory encounters: demonstrations of Plant Wave or sound artists generating sounds from living plants with other technology Plant Wave

Scan a code at the plant, tune in to hear the plant sounds live, 24/7
