Moving To Mars / Miniature Artists Books

Client: The Design Museum
2020

To coincide with 
Moving To Mars Exhibition at The Design Museum I collaborated with Pip Rowson on three miniature illustrated bookworks with each themed around the sections of the exhibition. Arrive & Explore, Survive & Expand and Thrive & Exploit.

The series 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.

​The illustrations focused on specific areas of research around the idea of traveling to, building into and living upon Mars.

Picture
Arrive & Explore ​

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.

Picture
Survive & Expand ​

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.

Picture
Thrive & Exploit
​
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.
