Christine Lavin | Music Boxed Set
For this project, we were tasked with choosing a band or artist and designing a boxed set for their music,
along with a catalog containing a personal essay about the artist. I chose an artist who has made
a major impact on my life, and who’s music never fails to brighten my day. The catalogue
highlights this connection, and the art surrounding it reflects her music and spirit.

Christine loves knitting, and I love painting. I wanted to include fiber arts into the project, so I made watercolor paintings on fabric, based on her songs, and embroidered the details. As Christine often embellishes
or "embroiders" the details in her songs, I felt as though I had found the perfect balance.

Albums & Track Lists
I curated my own albums, named after her songs, categorized based on the topic. With over 300 songs,
I kept these albums to only my absolute favorite of her songs, which are in the track lists below.
