The Waterways Exhibit was presented during the winter of 2024. All pieces were from the museum's collection exploring the topic of water, and divided into five themes, each occupied by a bay and associated column. It featured artwork from different artists in a variety of styles and eras.

I worked alongside a colleague to construct five panels, one for each theme. We created laser-cut titles and topographic shapes based on lakes throughout the NWT, adding a tactile, geographical dimension to the show. This design echoed the landscape and topography of the NWT. 

I illustrated and installed the watercolor backgrounds. This was an unconventionally bold approach, aligning with the curator's vision and refined through input from a working group. This gave the diverse collection of artwork a cohesive feel, focusing it around a central theme.

Throughout the process, I suggested adding titles and organizing the body text into smaller paragraphs to increase readability.

This was a project that I managed from start to finish, overseeing the budget, scheduling, procuring materials, and working with multiple stakeholders, including the curator, the working group, and another designer. The result was a stunning exhibit that communicated the vast landscape of the north.
