Jun - Aug 2025
Assisting on the exhibiton design for Mysterious Universe, a group show of Gabriel Lester and Eugène Brands at museum van Bommel van Dam, Venlo.
The works are showcased across two rooms, one pitch dark and one well lit. Between them, a perforated series of parallel walls serves as a tunneled transiton.
Over the span of a couple of months, I was requested to develop the final manufacturing files for this particular section of the show, guided by initial technical drawings of the design. I worked on splitting the walls, fitting them on more than 100 MDF plates and testing various styles of linework for the CNC cutouts.
