Website Design and Development

This website was designed, developed, and is maintained by Alex Stevovich, through his design and development studio Colors in the Sky. The project encompasses front-end and back-end development, data architecture, processing pipelines, database administration, and all site infrastructure.

Design Goals and Intent
The primary design goal of this website is clarity: a clean, minimal, and semantically structured presentation that places emphasis on the artwork itself.
Visual Language
The visual language is intentionally restrained, drawing from the conventions of scholarly publications, exhibition catalogues, and retrospective books. Layouts favor generous spacing, typographic hierarchy, and consistent object presentation over decorative or promotional elements.
The intent is to allow works to be viewed in a context that feels archival and academic rather than commercial, supporting sustained viewing and close reading across large bodies of work.

Relational Structure and Exploration
At its core, the catalogue is built as a relational archive. Artworks, exhibitions, publications, reviews, and related materials are interconnected across the database, allowing each item to be viewed within a broader network of context.
This structure enables a non-linear browsing experience in which viewers are encouraged to move freely between works and related records—discovering connections through medium, chronology, theme, exhibition history, and publication context. The interface is designed to support exploration and discovery rather than fixed pathways, allowing each visit to unfold differently.
Artwork Presentation
Artworks are presented with an emphasis on scale, proportion, and consistency. Primary artwork pages feature large, centered images accompanied by detailed metadata, while secondary figures are used throughout essays and contextual pages to support reading and visual reference.
This approach mirrors the experience of a printed retrospective catalogue while taking advantage of the flexibility of a digital medium.
Site Settings
Several optional settings are available through the site menu. Preferences persist for approximately 24 hours.

Theme

Measurement Units
Toggles displayed measurements between Imperial and Metric units. Some dynamic content areas may not fully reflect this setting.
Technology Overview
This website combines static generation with dynamic server-side rendering. Both front-end and back-end HTML are programmatically composed without the use of external frameworks.
Database
The catalogue database is maintained offline and structured in JSON. It was initially bootstrapped using spreadsheets and later evolved into a custom data model. A dedicated processing pipeline audits entries, builds relational links, performs analysis, and merges data at runtime.
Lydio
All HTML is composed using a custom component system built with Lydio. The pages are dynamically generated using server-side rendering.
Marle
Journal entries, updates, reviews, and other text-driven sections are authored and rendered using the Marle markup system.
DeepFrame
Server infrastructure is built on the DeepFrame server framework and supporting toolkit.
Ongoing Development
The website is actively maintained and continues to evolve alongside the catalogue. Improvements to data accuracy, structure, and presentation are made incrementally as new material and documentation become available.
