The Nightingale

From 2018 to 2020, I had the opportunity to work on the New Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Odense, Denmark. EVENT Communications, a global exhibition/ experience design agency, contacted me for the project.

I was tasked with creating all the illustrations for the museum. The art direction was led by Stuart Williams and Eithne Owens from EVENT team, alongside Henrik Lübker from HCA Hus. 

In the centre of this room is a large mechanical nightingale which forms the main experience. There is a mechanical scroll situated near the bird allowing visitors to turn the wheel and unveil scenes from the story. I had to create a large 1500 mm illustration divided into six scenes depicting the fairy tale.

Drawing inspiration from ancient Chinese scroll paintings and their techniques in depicting landscapes and spaces was crucial in this process.
