Organization: Southern Utah Museum of Art
Role: Designer (Exhibition Identity & Catalog)
Year: 2021-22
This Earth: Notes and Observations By Montello Foundation Artists was an exhibition of the works created by 41 artists from around the world during their residency at The Montello Foundation in Montello, Nevada. I was brought in to design the exhibition identity and catalog with director/curator Jessica Kinsey and co-curators Hikmet Sidney Loe and Stefan Hagen. Exhibition images & sample catalog pages to right.
The work in the exhibition focuses on the connection between humans and the natural world, set forth as chapters in the catalog: Observing Nature, In Dialog With Nature, and so on.
From the design perspective, some of the important elements are colors selected from key artworks, using a unique typeface that balanced contemporary art with the timelessness of earth, a natural colored and textured paper, and the addition of embossing on the cover.
