38- page catalogue design for The Kreeger Museum.

The Kreeger Museum presents Charles Hinman: Structures, 1965-2014, opening April 18, 2019. Charles Hinman is a New York-based abstract painter who pioneered three-dimensional, shaped canvases starting in the 1960s. This is the first museum show of works by Hinman in the Washington area and the first survey in more than 30 years. Hinman is best known for his compositions that emerge from the wall in a collection of hand-built and multicolored planes, expanding the conventional space of the canvas. Guest curated by Danielle O’Steen, the exhibition offers a look at 50 years of the artist’s innovative work.

Charles Hinman: Structures, 1965–2014 brings together historic paintings from the 1960s while also presenting objects that cast a new light on Hinman’s expansive, and ongoing, studio practice. The show includes painted canvases, cast paper reliefs, and other experimental artworks. The exhibition begins with the artist’s early, groundbreaking paintings from the 1960s and 1970s, including Sails, 1965, in The Kreeger Museum collection. The show reunites Sails with three works on loan from the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, as the paintings were all shown in Hinman’s 1965 solo exhibition at the Richard Feigen Gallery in New York. The exhibition then follows Hinman’s career in the subsequent decades, from his monumental and monochromatic paintings to his rarely-exhibited textiles and prints and drawings.

As Mexico's most prolific and influential graphic artist, Francisco Toledo has been exploring the fantastical and expanding the expressive range of his printmaking over more than 50 years. This exhibition catalogue encompasses a wide range of Toledo's work, revealing the progression and creative process evidenced in his printmaking. The exhibition catalogue also includes 21 works by both Mexican and foreign printmakers as part of Toledo's collection for the Instituto de Artes Graficas de Oaxaca (IAGO). These works have been influential in developing Toledo's creative vision and serve to contextualize the medium in a global art history. Curated by Fernando Gálvez de Aguinaga.

144-page hardcover exhibition catalogue for Grounds For Sculpture. The exhibition catalogue features an extensive survey of Koorida’s work in his first major exhibition in the United States.

On view at Grounds For Sculpture's Museum Building and outdoor gardens, the exhibition features 26 of the artist’s sculptures. Koorida’s primary medium is stone, and the exhibition includes several large-scale pieces carved in granite and marble as well as new stone works created for this exhibition. The mezzanine gallery features smaller works in a variety of mediums, including milled stainless steel and cast acrylic. A collection of nine of Koorida’s new graphite drawings will complete the installation.

Koorida’s sculptures are as much serious as they are welcoming of interaction. The combination of highly textured and sensuously smooth surfaces are invitations to tactile exploration. Inspired by the natural world, the sculptures can appear as though they have paused for a moment as they sprout from the ground. Circular, amorphous shapes become legs or antennae. The titles, such as Rise, Black Seed, and Tentacle, reflect the organic forms that inspired the artist. To create his large works, Koorida often references one of his smaller-scale sculptures which he then uses to inform the process of enlarging the finished work to a greater scale.

Masayuki Koorida was born in Kyoto, Japan in 1960 and grew up in the post-World War II environment that formed his world. Koorida’s love of his culture, and of art and nature, led to his decision to become an artist. He attended Musashino Art University in Tokyo and in 1999, left Japan on a special residency grant in the Netherlands. In 2006, Koorida moved to Shanghai—a major multicultural metropolis—and established his studio. In these past 12 years, he has created some of the most striking stone works of his career. His work has been featured recently in an installation of the new Japanese Garden of the Frederick Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan as well as having works on view at Yorkshire Sculpture Park in England.

60-page exhibition catalogue for American University Museum at Katzen Arts Center's Spring 2019 show.

Printmaking Legacy Project’s® first national print exhibition, Forward Press: 21st Century Printmaking features ten innovative print artists from across the country who employ the finest examples of hand printed and digital techniques. They explore themes of culture, identity, religion, environment, memory, and art history. Some work in traditional forms, like lithography, intaglio, relief, and screen printing, while others explore these methods as the basis for large-scale sculpture, collage, and integrating technology into printmaking. These ten artists are changing the way American printmaking is seen and understood. The exhibition is on view April 6-August 11, 2019.

This 136-page catalogue showcases the work of Washington, DC artist Carol Brown Goldberg’s larger-than-life paintings and drawings for her new series, Entanglement. The works of art in the series embody the search for connected growth patterns in our organic world. Our thoughtful catalogue design emphasizes the intricacy of Goldberg’s work by including both the full view and a close-up of every piece in the exhibition. The close-ups of the pieces truly give the viewer a sense of the work’s scale. The essay is written by Dr. Robert Mattison, the Marshall R. Metzgar Professor of Art History at Lafayette College.
