1. Los Angeles: Mestizo Archipelago




Completed / 2018
Editorial Design / Graphic Design


             Los Angeles: Mestizo Archipelago is a cultural topography of the L.A. art world created for Bridge Projects, an artist-in-residence program in Los Angeles dedicated to creating space for contemporary artists to seriously explore religion, faith, and spirituality in their work.
            This year-long research project involved 8 essays informed by 77 interviews with practitioners, gallerists, curators, etc in the Los Angeles art world. The design challenge therefore involved the translation of a number of abstract concepts into clear diagrams and graphics that helped readers to understand complex intangible ideas.
            The results were a series of maps and diagrams incorporated amongst the 8 essays that were compiled into a book, which had a bright, colour-coded design to reflect the eclecticism of the research subject. Each essay was assigned a colour that helped readers find specific pages and sections throughout the book.
