Nominated for a 2015 Global Fine Art Award, this 2,500 square-foot exhibit installed at the Penn Museum of Archeology and Anthropology featured an astounding array of pre-Columbian artifacts excavated from the burial site of Citio Conte in Central Panama.

Working for the lead design firm Alusiv, I developed space plans and casework layouts for the exhibit as well as iterative designs and construction documents for the exhibit’s centerpiece, a three-dimensional reconstruction of Burial 11. This dramatic recreation represents the three levels of the burial and the 23 bodies it contained with objects of gold, bone, stone, and pottery installed in the positions they were found in by University of Pennsylvania archeologists in 1940.
