SOLAR ORBITER,
Cyanotype, 2020-2021.
Commission by ITV.

Solar Orbiter is a commission by ITV, to produce an ident in collaboration with Professor Lucie Green. Myself and Lucie produced a cyanotype using ultraviolet light, a form of light which is produced by the Sun. As Lucie has been working on the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter mission, we were inspired to use shapes found within the Solar Orbiter craft to form the logo. Part of the ident was filmed at Airbus Stevenage. The ident will be screened for the entire month of February 2021, with multiple scenes unfolding each week.
For each month of the year, a different artist will create an ITV Ident in collaboration with a professional from a different discipline. In January’s Ident, Sharon Walters and Mark Lane produced an ident around gardening.

These idents are produced by ITV’s creative agency, ITV Creative and curator Charline Levine.
