In Mpls: Material Matters exhibit & American Swedish Inst. Fence

The fence is up at the American Swedish Institute! I designed a back-story, repeating banner for the construction fence to show what the upcoming addition’s ‘LEED’ certification means and to acquaint passer-bys with happenings at the museum and in Swedish culture. Although the museum is closed during the construction, the fence is there for you to visit. See it in the Phillips neighborhood.

 
Also, the ‘T-Shirt-that Tells it’s Own Story’ and some shawls I developed together with master craftsmen in rural India are on exhibit at ‘Material Matters’ now at MCAD.
