ARCH HADES: ONGOING CREATIVE PARTNERSHIP
Arch Hades is a contemporary artist and poet whose practice spans painting, sculpture and large-scale installations. Since 2025, I have worked as a freelance creative, developing visual communications across exhibition campaigns, editorial content, motion, social media and digital publications.
Working closely with the artist has given me insight into translating complex ideas into cohesive visual narratives.
Created content to strengthen artist visibility during a 3 month solo exhibition.
Outcomes: feed posts, stories, event coverage and publication design.
A selection of outcomes:
Arch Hades ‘Confession Series’ is inspired by unravelling once discarded letters/journal entries and giving them permanence through her sculptural art objects. Using stop-motion animation to tell this story for social media use:
Created content of the opening week of Arch Hades’ solo exhibition ‘Return | Ritorno’ during La Biennale. Collaborating with videographer & PR teams and ensuring enough content is collected for ongoing social media collateral.
Created content to strengthen artist visibility during a key international art fair.
Outcomes: feed posts, stories and event documentation assets.
EXHIBITION WRITING
Alongside my graphic design practice, I have developed a personal habit of documenting contemporary art exhibitions through written & visual reflections. Writing has become a way for me to engage more critically with artists' work, curatorial narratives and exhibition design... a lot to still be published!
EXHIBITION SUPPORT & DESIGN
Working alongside an artist living with dementia, I supported the development and presentation of a body of work that explored memory, identity and lived experience. My role involved translating the artist's vision into thoughtful visual communications, creating exhibition materials and supporting the wider presentation of the project - resulting in the exhibition of work in 2 venues and the completion of a charitable auction.
The collaboration deepened my appreciation for design as a tool for storytelling, demonstrating how visual communication can amplify personal narratives while remaining sensitive to the experiences behind the work.
