I designed the exhibition catalogue for Infinite Compassion: Avalokiteshvara in Asian Art, an exhibition at the Staten Island Museum at Snug Harbor Cultural Center, organized in collaboration with the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, on view October 22, 2016 through June 15, 2018. The exhibition presented sculptural and artistic depictions of the bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara across Asian cultures and centuries. It was curated by Robert Bunkin, Curator of Art at the Staten Island Museum, with Patricia Eichenbaum Karetzky, Ph.D. as Guest Curator. I coordinated with Linda Locke, Publication Director, throughout the project.
Scope of Work
- Development of the exhibition's visual identity.
- Design of exhibition catalogue (print and digital).
- Image preparation for print and digital use, including complex isolation of sculptural objects.
Visual Identity
A visual identity was developed for the exhibition and applied consistently across all associated materials. This established the typographic language, layout structure, and graphic approach used throughout the deliverables produced.
Catalogue
A full exhibition catalogue was designed, running 64 pages exclusive of cover. The catalogue opens with hero layouts followed by historical and contextual pages, then an essay section presented as complex integrated text and image layouts. The catalogue concludes with a plate section presenting works featured in the exhibition. I coordinated with the publisher to ensure production quality and accurate color. The catalogue was also adapted to a digital format for online display and distribution.

Technical
I was responsible for image preparation, including color balance, cropping, and preparing files for print and digital use. A significant portion of this project involved the detailed isolation of sculptural objects from their backgrounds, requiring precise manual work across a large number of three-dimensional works presented against clean backgrounds throughout the catalogue.
