Design Solution:

The artists featured in this exhibition observed men and women at work and painted those individuals into history, prying open its often-told story to uncover a broader, more complicated and grittier view. The exhibition graphics were designed to echo this grittiness and the robustness of industry and to highlight travel, which was possible by the steam engine and rail lines that were being built from the city into the countryside. Designed brochures at the entrance are presented as a roadmap, providing information about the times through the artwork.
