Cover design for a self help book for women.

Exhibition identity and catalogue for Perfect for every occasion, a major group exhibition at Heide Museum of Modern Art which surveys new practice in Australian photography in the twenty-first century.

“Perfect for every occasion acknowledges the pervasiveness of media in our environment and offers the opportunity to contemplate how photography provides a means to convey the tensions between contemporary public and private realities. These images suggest that the camera, whether digital or analogue, large format or a mobile phone, is a tool for processing trajectories of thought as much as an eye witness.” Zara Stanhope Head Curator and Deputy Director Museum of Modern Art

The Goddess grins explores Albert Tucker’s complex and varied representations of women, with images that responded to and commented on his immediate environment, while encompassing reflections on universal conditions of humanity: war, fear, sexuality and myth.

The crescent is a recurring motif within Tuckers work and formed the basis of the identity for the exhibition catalogue and signage.

Development of an identity and packaging for Nanokote, a surface treatment product that repels dirt and water when applied to glass or ceramics, metal, timber and fabric. It uses nanotechnology to create sub-microscopic self-arranging particles that are measured in nanometers (billionths of a metre, or 10-9) to create a protective layer which inhibits dirt and water from attaching themselves to a surface.

D&AD, the British Design and Art Direction Club sent out 500 yellow flags to 500 creative firms around the world and asked them to provide a photographic response to it. We felt it was important to give an Australian context so we could not go past the suburban backyard with the Hills Hoist. Many thanks to Sabrina’s sister for offering her house and to John Gollings for the brilliant photographs.
