Asparagus for Manny
2018, Fresh produce, shrink wrap, glass & plastic tablewares
Asparagus for Manny explores preservation, manipulation of organic matter, and the open question of how the piece might change over time. Created as a sculptural installation that taps into the history of food based still lives, this piece brings the tradition into the 21st Century. Bringing into question the value of our produce, the global structure that enables access to wide varieties of food regardless of the season, and the unseen labor involved in its production, transportation, and preservation.
About
I’m a Graphic Designer with 6+ years of experience currently living in Brooklyn with my cat/creative director, Oscar.
Coming into design with a multidisciplinary background I enjoy finding new and engaging ways to express a brand and crafting that brand vision into functional, high level visual & design systems. I’ve worked as an in house brand designer at a B2B company since 2022. I have experience in brand development, creating design systems, art direction and photo styling. I previously have worked at start-ups, small businesses, and a marketing agency.
Hobbies
Needlepointing, playing D&D, diving deep into wikipedia rabbitholes, looking at illuminated manuscripts, reading Agatha Christie-esque mysteries, non-fiction stories about humans surviving harrowing conditions against all odds.
