“Finished” the “Fashion Arsenal” project. By that I mean to say that I think it’s time to move onto the next idea. I got the LEDs to light up when the capacitive touch sensor is touched by using a lilypad Arduino. I had plans to use these faux firearms for a “Drone Hunt” … Continue reading
“Yarn Bus” is a installation piece created within my first year of my MFA program. A diagram of a bus is drawn out onto the wall using T pins and yarn stretched between them. Each strand levitates within several inches of the surface, with varying degrees of depth causing the slightest appearance of the three … Continue reading
“iSpy” is a public art project that I started last semester. This piece consists of hand stitched “drone” caricatures which are placed in public spaces. Each drone has a name and number and note hidden within a wing. Each note gives a website address to go to and a hashtag word. The initial inspiration for … Continue reading

Only the lower receiver has to be registered, so individuals have the ability to fashion … Continue reading

Here is another hallway inspired piece. There are two thermostats in the hallway I am mirroring, so I decided to knock these out real quick. The numbers on them are too tiny to reproduce, so I went with a simplified face with just the needle and the two little pieces on top to “turn” … Continue reading
