Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art, Las Vegas, USA
Connective Tissue
Neuroscientist-turned-artist Amanda Phingbodhipakkiya filled this first solo-exhibition with murals and interactive pieces that emphasize the need for collective action throughout our world - from subatomic to society level.
About the exhibition’s theme, Phingbodhipakkiya states, “Just as a flawless pirouette requires recruitment and control of nearly every muscle group in a dancer’s body, the things we hope to achieve as a society cannot be done by individual effort alone, they require collective action.”
I contributed to Connective Tissue from definition to implementation.
Definition
Advised on physical proportions of each piece, their construction and material choice; so they were user-friendly and inline with Phingbodhipakkiya’s vision
Prototyped and designed 8 custom containers that could be fabricated in multiple within timeline and budget
Vetted the usability of every design to ensure museum staff and visitors could interact with the pieces as intended
Implementation
Developed time and cost effective fabrication solutions that resulted in visually consistent pieces
Fabricated a total of 43 final containers and four soft furnishings
Dedicated 3 weeks onsite with Phingbodhipakkiya to install the exhibition
