I’m a developer, educator, and humanities professional. I’m always excited to apply my skills towards community art, creative education, and public knowledge.
Brown Arts Institute (BAI)
Exhibition
NOTE: This page is under development. Below is a passage I wrote about graphic design work I completed for an artist gathering at the BAI.
the dead teach me how to die by letting me wildly live was a two day gathering and temporary exhibition produced by Emergent Forest
Working for the Brown Arts Institute, I was tasked with designing a program constrained to a double-sided sheet of paper. I wanted to provide guests with a source of information, but also a keepsake. Inspiration came from the screenprinting process, where images are often condensed into one layer of ink for economical purposes.
Works and performaces at the event included local artists, the curators themselves, and publicly invited participants from Brown and Providence community. The list of names on the program is subtly grouped by organizers and participating artists, but adheres to the dynamic label-less-ness of the gathering.
