Companion Planting

Publication design for exhibition on the terms 'permaculture' and 'polyculture', whereby different species co-exist in close proximity, so that their differences can provide a communal habitat for the benefit of all organisms.

'Companion Planting', is part of an ongoing series of exhibitions which utilise unconventional spaces as a site for display, including: a family home, a second hand furniture store, an Anglican church, and a community convenience shop.

Typographic emphasis takes the spatial deployment of artworks within Goldsmiths allotment to synthesise the tense and format of texts in a relational or conversational approach, thereby hinting towards the overriding synopsis of the exhibition.

A list of artwork materials is mirrored with a notational diagrammatic illustration as a wrap around cover, which likewise doubles as a walk through map.

Printing: Risography, 20pp, 178mm × 250mm
