I am delighted to share here that the artwork from my artists book A Knavish Lad (2016) will be featured at the National Building Museum (NBM) in Washington D.C. as part of a collaboration they’re doing this summer with the Folger Shakespeare Library. 

The artwork from the book will form part of an immersive installation for visitors to walk through within the Great Hall at the NBM (pictured above) and will coincide with the staging of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at The Playhouse at the NBM in July and August.
