Sis Boom Ah!, Princeton Reunions Cover Art, 2023
When I was invited to create the cover art for Princeton’s 2023 Reunions, I wanted to make a visual that speaks to the unique sartorial tradition of the P-Rade and the Reunion Jackets and to convey the energy, creativity and diversity that is expressed during Reunions, in part through the many expressions of the stripe.
Each class has its own interpretation of the stripe but by putting the jackets together in this way, all these various expressions of stripes become like threads that weave together to create a vibrant, collective tapestry — another dynamic fabric that is analogous to the multi-dimensional and vibrant nature of the contemporary Princeton community.
Composed of historic jackets from 1908 - 1967, this image conveys both P-Rade and fireworks, and is an emotive abstraction of the incredible energy of the Princeton community reconnecting and being together.
