Hortus Siccus

A Herbarium is a collection of pressed, dried plants. ‘Hortus Siccus’ is the Latin name for these botanical archives, translating to ‘dry garden.’ Hortus Siccus is my editorial response to Not Just Fleurons, an ISTD brief. The outcome focusses on the Herbarium at RBG Kew, exploring the role and importance of this unconventional garden though an interview with one of its honorary research associates, Dr. David Goyder.

Luthier

In response to an open brief, Celebrate Craft, Luthier explores the traditional craft of Luthiery through the space in which it takes place and the tools it requires. A photographic book reveals fragments of a beautiful workshop filled with tools, wood and resins, hidden within a terraced house in Newark-on-Trent shared by four instrument building students.

Useful. Beautiful. Morris.

Bringing the rich heritage of William Morris’ interiors firm, Morris & Co., into the home of a contemporary audience with joyful moving illustrations. The Useful. Beautiful. Morris. campaign encourages consumers to recognise potential for transformation within their home using the Morris test: is it useful? Is it beautiful? A series of items are presented before and after being ‘Morris-ed’ – first as functional, but lacking in character, then bursting with colour and pattern.
