PREVIOUS PROJECT IMAGINE: VISIONS FOR OUR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

What my clients say

“A fantastic project to be a part of. It needs to be recreated in many situations. Well done and thank you for letting me be a part of it.”

“[Imagine] Inspired me to rethink the important role imagination and creativity play if creating more sustainable futures. It would be good to do it again on a statewide scale!”

“I found [Imagine] one of the most difficult but most rewarding projects I have worked on for a long time. Difficult because I had the challenge of being a “medium” for Bruce’s ideas, rewarding because I really enjoyed the experience of visually interpreting his complex multi-layered vision of sustainability. I believe that my participation in this exhibition has been a turning point in terms of themes and ideas for my own work in the future.”
