Special art exhibition to celebrate the work of legendary author and illustrator, Maurice Sendak and the 50 year anniversary of “Where the Wild Things Are” publication. This traveling exhibit featured 50 works by Sendak and 50 statements from noted celebrities and influential people about what his work meant in their childhood. Opened at the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco from May 23 to July 7, 2013.
I was brought on the project by graphic designer Henni Yama. My role was exhibit planning and design, producing renderings, fabrication and installation drawings.
