Within the span of 14 weeks, I took an exhibit from an RFP to design. The 2,500 sq ft exhibit takes a look at Wissahickon Park's importance to the city of Philadelphia. Edgar Allan Poe spent six years during his career in Philadelphia, during which were the most productive. His short story "Morning on the Wissahickon" (also known as "The Elk") is a romanticized look at the park. I used his poetic words as a through-line for the exhibit, pushing the boundaries of the constructed beauty of the park and its communities.
