Infinite Compassion: Avalokiteshvara in Asian Art was created for a joint exhibition of the Staten Island Museum and the Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art. With sculptures, thangkas, and ritual objects drawn from multiple Asian traditions, the catalogue required a presentation that balanced clarity, reverence, and cultural nuance.

A major part of the design effort involved the 'silo' of every artwork — carefully isolating each piece from its background to create clean, striking visuals that let form and craftsmanship stand fully in view. Essay pages were shaped around these silhouettes, with text flowing along edges and contours to echo the physical presence of the objects.

To support the exhibition’s tone, we introduced a restrained silver-and-warm-beige palette for section openers, adding quiet atmosphere while keeping the layout contemporary and measured.

Director of Publications Linda Locke was closely involved in the design phase, offering insights and ideas that provided invaluable support and helped elevate the project.
