Artist and illustrator Catherine Morton-Abuah was commissioned to create a pack of activities for children and young people in response to Bod Mellor’s George Michael TV Outside, 2020.
Morton-Abuah responded to the brief with Making a Star, two activities that explore George Michael through portraiture, music and song-writing and include Morton-Abuah’s iconic illustrated ‘style files’ of Michael and his contemporaries. Morton-Abuah was inspired by George Michael’s relationship with celebrity, and his core values of standing for what you believe in, to create the pack.
Co-commissioned by Studio Voltaire, Create London and Brent 2020, London Borough of Culture.
