The World of William O. Golding/ 2025

Following our first Telfair Children's Art Museum collaboration, this second theme turned to the world of William O. Golding. Developed in reference to Telfair Museums' exhibition The Art of William O. Golding: Hard Knocks, Hardships, and Lots of Experience, the project translates Golding's maritime drawings into a playful digital environment for CAM's younger audience.

The experience was organized as spatial chapters—a welcome mural, voyage map, projection-based seascape, submarine-inspired interiors, and teaching moments throughout the gallery. Interactivity centered on navigation and discovery, letting children follow Golding's routes from Savannah to the Arctic, China, and Cape Horn while learning about sail, steam, and life at sea.

More than an exhibition wrap, the project demonstrates how curatorial research, environmental graphics, and digital media can work together without losing the character of the original artwork. It extends CAM's mission through a setting that feels educational, atmospheric, and unmistakably Golding.
