For conference, I produced four passive music videos for the 1996 techno album, Second Toughest in the Infants, produced by the acclaimed duo, Underworld. Four songs were chosen from this album, and the piece had a total runtime of 47…

My conference project is about mark making in relation to the body. I wanted to use a “canvas” and colors that reflected childhood and family. The clothes line and the lace strung about is mean to display the art in…

The object is a 2 foot tower, held together by 6 alternating layers of paper plates, put together by three plates that are folded together in fourths. At the bottom, paer plate stands help it up with the plate folded…

Within a similar vein as one of the conference projects crafted by a student in class, one of our projects consisted of folding print-outs of our faces. The folds made were some we were taught in class including pleating, Miura…

The project itself is a work in process, but ultimately, I want a vertical display of pieces of tissue wrapping around wired structures. I want to create 7-12 standing structures of wire (standing on itself) outwards and sew the pinches…

When we were told not to use paper for our project, I took it very seriously. I wanted to give myself a challenge by using a different material that can fold and crease. Crystal Crease illustrates that depiction. Crystal Crease…

Have you ever wondered why paper bends in weird ways? I certainly have. I never thought that folding would be a complex phenomenon. As I experimented with different materials to fold, it caught my interest in learning more about folding,…

Miura Ori: I have some low and some high resolution, Miura Ori tessellations in the series. It’s a repeated fold pattern with some points popping in or out and can fold completely flat. At first my motivation for creating this…

This project is made out of paper plates. The goal of this assignment was to make anything using paper plates that reached a height of 2 feet. Unlike a lot of others who went in a more abstract direction, my…

Six shirts: Three tie dyed, two reverse tie dyed by means of bleach, and one with cyanotype. They follow a similar color scheme of yellows, greens, and blues, most being dyed under a pleated folds, which created the look of…

My final project for abstract video is four videos stitched together to create a four minute video showcasing my shadow walking through the day. Each video shows me walking in a different environment and different forms of abstraction through it…

My favorite part of learning Touchdesigner has been rendering objects. A big challenge has been learning how to make the objects move on a 3D plane and take on their own life. The image above is from my favorite early…

This object began with my initial paper clip and paper plate constructed sphere from the beginning of the semester; I really liked the form, weight, and appearance of that sphere, and wanted to build this assignment off of that initial…

This work is an unconventional representation of a scientific coral morphogenesis model. The coral is made of various tissue paper; I drew designs on some of the paper, used patterned paper, and solid colored paper as well. The paper is…

This video shows my blinking eye overlayed with a digital shape that appears to be blinking. The eye and the pulsating sphere are meant to look like they are affecting each other to blink.In this experiment, I was initially following…

This video is one of my first experiments with TouchDesginer. It is a video with a colorful overlay and switching light points. The video is repeating over 1 minute and the texture changes over time with the color.  My motivation…

I’ve had a vested interest in making art about rooms and how we can tell a lot about people based on what their rooms look like. My conference piece is called “Honeytrap,” and in creating this piece, I was trying…

DESCRIBE THE OBJECT This project is part of my optical illusion collection. One of the themes that really interested me this semester was creating (occasional 3D) optical illusions through hard code. This ‘Pink Rose’ is a bunch of organized rectangles…

The Gala of Time. In which relics from the past and present are shown in a miniature exhibition. Looking at old photographs of these items made me realize that I wanted to add on an aura of nostalgia. I have…
