Wellcome Trust
Dirt
Exhibition Graphics
This fascinating exhibition of historical artefacts and contemporary film and literature explored the unusual subject of ‘dirt’, our relationship with it in the past, and how we plan to deal with it in the future. The graphic scheme took on the characteristics of dirt; the entire entrance wall was covered with flocking to emulate a splattering of muck, typographic elements throughout the show were formed out of flock Fibers which closely resembled a hoover bag’s contents, and painted aluminium panels were screenprinted with the exhibition texts providing a contrasting feel of cleanliness.

Paul Ryan Rebound
Printed Material
Combining sketches, diary notes and wall drawings, Paul Ryan’s exhibition illuminated the changing perception of HIV in London over a period of 20 years: from 1986, when the first clear information about HIV emerged, to 2006, when successful treatment regimes had been established. We designed a small publication of reproductions of Ryan’s notes and sketches about the experience of caring for, grieving for and sometimes seeing the return to health of those close to him. The pages were sewn bound with red thread.

Marion Coutts Twenty Six Things
Printed Material
Twenty Six Things is a film commissioned by Wellcome Collection, based on a simple memory game in which participants are shown a collection of objects, some of which might change position when they look away. The film is an investigation into the vast museum of artefacts gathered by Henry Wellcome. We illustrated the objects in a fold-out poster reflecting the artist’s interest in the generation of meaning in visual perception, through effects of repetition, interval and pattern.
