Box making goodness! And the porthole window just had to be there and apparently according to airplane design structurally more robust than a square window.... Or at least that's my excuse The ship is the Invercargill. #museumstorage #boxmaking #modelship #museumbox #projectark https://www.instagram.com/p/CqU0czVPA6W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So I don’t often post stuff from work but this has been a bit of a project I’m just a little bit proud of. A group effort of ideas bought together for a group of very special and interesting objects. Opalotypes are a photograph on milk coloured glass that is then retouched by an artist, correct me if I’m wrong @eve_is_in_newzealand Te Hikoi has an amazing collection of these painted photographs and during the recent work on framed works we have a few that needed a bit of extra TLC. We wanted a protective housing that would double as a method of display. There are a few “prototypes” in the recycle bin but after much playing and discussing we have a solution. #archives #museumstorage #museum #boxmaking #bookbinding #archiveboxes https://www.instagram.com/p/CVmtsuYPHye/?utm_medium=tumblr
