Cumberland Regional Design

Residency: Cumberland Regional High School

On February 4th, 2013 I began a 10 week residency at Cumberland Regional High School in Seabrook, NJ. I will be working with students to create 3 panels for the transoms over the entrance to the Performing Arts Center. During planning meetings with the school we arrived at a theme incorporating imagery from Cumberland County. Students in the high school engaged in collecting oral histories from family members to be considered for the final design.

In planning for this project, I thought back to panels I designed for Ocean County Library in Tom's River as an approach to this project. These panels depict images from the history of Ocean County.

"THE VEIL of HISTORY" Ocean County Public Library

My research was inspired by many historic resources including maps like this.

 I suggested a preliminary design for the Performing Arts Center panels using the imagery from Ocean County as a guide.
