These are some of my early experiments in coding. My first image is of Bubbles from the Powerpuff Girls. I was recently thinking about playing with bubbles as a kid and knew I wanted that to be part of what I had in my design. This caused me to think of watching the Powerpuff Girls and I added it to my design. I started by creating Bubbles and then added the bubbles that float across the screen. For me this is just a fun and nostalgic image.
The second image is from one of my earliest designs. I had the idea to try to create a disco-esque Pac-Man. As I started to code it became more abstract in nature. I started with the circles in the corners and then coded the circles that bounce across the screen. This is one of the only pieces I did where I didn’t quite know exactly what it would look like when I finished.
The third image is of a kitchen looking out towards the window. The code then transitions from the day (as pictured above) to a night scene where the iced tea becomes a mug and the pizza becomes a cookie. This was one of my first times trying to create a full image. I wanted to try to depict a summer day where you don’t have any responsibilities to worry about.

Drawing Machine Attempt 1 This was the beginning of my journey. I started off by creating the base with the dining hall’s plastic cups with sticks. I taped the cups to stabilize the base and put a mini ketchup cup…

I’ve always been drawn to the idea of documenting daily life- feelings, phases, friends, hobbies, places, food, fashion, slang, humor, and the specific culture that exists within it all. I love the idea of keeping a written diary, but I’ve…

My conference work this semester was an experiment in depicting my difficulties with intrusive thoughts. To catalog this diary form, I began by noting every intrusive thought I experienced on Sarah Lawrence’s campus for a month. I put them all…

Throughout our second exploration of diary form, I was interested in taking on abstraction in a way that differed drastically from my first work. I knew I wanted to talk about the intricacies of hierarchically understanding independence and interdependence and…

Over the past semester(Spring 2023), I began to collect as many items from the trash I produce as I could salvage, until I was able to construct this giant pile of it. Rising out of it is a snake, made…

My motivation for creating this machine originated from when I first took this speaker apart to repair it. Since I was already comfortable working with this machine I was interested to see if I could do anything further. Once I…

If you see a lightbulb, what do you think of it? An idea? Light? Me too. To me, lightbulbs symbolize two things, vision and mindset. Lightbulbs are a globe-like object that produces light, thus giving you clear vision as it…
