MOVING TO MARS BOOKS / 2019
To coincide with Moving To Mars Exhibition at The Design Museum I collaborated with Pip Rowson on three miniature illustrated bookworms with each themed around the sections of the exhibition. Arrive & Explore, Survive & Expand and Thrive & Exploit. The illustrations focused on specific areas of research around the idea of traveling to, building on and living on Mars. |

Arrive & Explore explores how our earthly ideas of design, language and imagination are not yet fit for purpose for a planet at once familiar and distinct from our own. This book, the first in the series, encounters Mars as a sea-less sphere, presenting an imagined map inspired by the artwork of Emmy Ingeborg Brun (1872 - 1929), a Danish socialist and amateur astronomer.

Survive & Expand explores how our earthly ideas of design, language and imagination are not yet fit for purpose for a planet at once familiar and distinct from our own. This book, the second in the series, puts forward a blueprint of ideas for terraforming, overcoming initial survival challenges and a plan in case of failure.

Thrive & Exploit explores how our earthly ideas of design, language and imagination are not yet fit for purpose for a planet at once familiar and distinct from our own. This book, the third in the series, presents speculative Martian architecture including buildings imported from Earth and set down on Mars, re-design and re-engineering of our terrestrial way of living, and wholly new creations.
