WORK WITH ME
Let me craft a story for you.
People think of stories in just one form – a book, a film, a comic strip, an essay… I like to mix them all together and create experimental narrative objects, combining book art, illustration, text, miniatures and more.
WHO DO YOU WORK WITH?
Literally anyone. (But if you’re an interesting person, that’ll help.)
Maybe you’re a museum looking to create an artist book inspired by one of your archives. You might be a fashion house that wants to do a 100-year retrospective. Or perhaps you’re a musician who wants to transform the lyrics of their latest album into an interactive book. Or a writer / poet / researcher who wants to see their work transformed into a visual/multimedia experience. Or an actor / filmmaker who wants to create a “physical showreel”. Or perhaps a comedian who wants to write a slightly bent autobiography. Whoever you are, get in touch and let’s chat.
DO I HAVE TO KNOW WHAT I WANT?
Nope!
I will figure that out for you. In fact, I enjoy starting with a blank slate. I will get to know you, your life, your work, and figure out what’s most important to you. And then I’ll send you a proposal for what our project will look like.
WHAT WILL THE FINAL OBJECT LOOK LIKE?
It’s a mystery to me too.
Every storytelling object is unique. It might be a book, a miniature diorama, an exhibition, a book that turns into an exhibition… I don’t like creating the same thing twice. What I can tell you is that it will be specifically tailored to you, and I especially like making things that surprise and delight the people they’re made for.
WHERE CAN I USE THIS… THING?
That depends.
It depends on you, your industry and your audience. If you’re a musician, we could film a music video around it. If you’re an iconic brand creating a 100-year retrospective, we could approach museums to acquire it for their collection. It could also become the centrepiece of your next exhibition. We could produce a collector’s edition for your most loyal patrons. If you’re someone with a large following, we can create a mass-market piece for your fans to purchase. If you’re a consumer brand or an NGO, we can use it to create a promotional ad-film. You don’t have to figure it out right now – when I create your proposal, I will lay out all the options for you.
HOW WILL WE WORK TOGETHER?
Lucky for you, I’m a control freak who likes doing everyone’s job.
I’m a visual artist, miniaturist, researcher, writer & graphic designer. I’m also an aesthetic chameleon who can adapt to you, your brand and your style. So I’ll do all the heavy-lifting, and I’ll engage my network for things like photography or filming. All I ask of you is to meet with me a few times, provide any initial research material, and respond to the work I share with you.
