What goes where and how did it get there?
Say hello to Josh Doherty and Winter Stacey. They are fabrication designers.
But what do they do??
“… there’s an exhibit, there’s the curators and there’s a story. [We’re] working with the curators to develop the visual part of how the exhibition is going to go together – looking at the gallery spaces and figuring out where things are going to fit. [We figure out] what sort of visual storytelling is going to happen and paint the picture of what [we’re] trying to do.”
Winter installing the (real!) triceratops skull into a temperature controlled case at the Royal British Columbia Museum for the exhibition, SUE.
Winter testing out a design idea for an artisanal fire pit for the exhibit, “That Which Sustains Us” at the Museum of Vancouver.
Winter wielding some lantern skeletons – “that is, before we put the shades on. We tried to keep some joy in the everyday!” For the “A Seat at the Table” exhibit at the Museum of Vancouver
Winter being silly and using a clip-on light attached to her belt to better see some precision work she had to do.
