Drawing Machines

This project was born out of a drive to repurpose books that were set aside in the load-out dock beneath the Sarah Lawrence Library. These books were all marred in some way, whether it be a few lines highlighted here…

This piece is made of paper plates and a bunch of tape. I started using paper clips to hold my folds together, however, they soon proved too unstable for the kind of stability that I wanted to achieve. Each individual…

Aroma diffusers have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m someone who strives to create a peaceful oasis throughout my spaces, for example, my bedroom. In an effort to construct the calmest and…

After seeing this machine that projected pure happiness on a wall go viral on social media, I knew I needed to have it. The sunset lamp, a contraption that supposedly “cures depression” for just $20, was instantly added to my…

The final form of this project is a hand that can maneuver similarly to an anatomical hand. The hand is made of paper that is rolled into cylinders to make parts of the fingers. The movement of the hand is…

Wave Simulator In physics a wave can be thought of as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. It could be described as oscillations or vibrations. There are different types of waves, it…

I created a drawing machine from the frame of an old ten speed bicycle. After disassembling the bike,  I placed the frame horizontally onto sawhorses so the gears and rear wheel could spin freely, and I attached a cardboard disc…

I created a pendulum ink dropper that creates pieces by distributing ink across the page by swinging back and forth. It features a pendulum cup mechanic that is filled with ink and distributes that ink while swinging through a metal…

The title of my film is Nevruz. The film was made using the Epson scanner to scan each individual frame, accumulating all of these images into a video through stop-motion editing technique. It begins with a red circular character, inspired…

The culmination of my conference work for this class is a twelve-image series titled “What can we find on a night walk in the woods?” I explore curiosity, discovery, wonder, and the senses through the setting of a night walk…

Working with color has always been one of my biggest interest, so the second I started thinking about my conference project I knew that that was something I wanted to pursue. Throughout my artistic career, I never really had an…

A few months ago I went on a family trip to Spain. We were taking a tour in Segovia when I saw this small book shop in one of the streets. I went to take a look through the glass…

Work Title: Altered Television Describe your object: My conference final is a five minute video collage made up of popular entertainment videos from the 90s-2000s, focusing on music, sports, and celebrity culture. I use music videos from the Korean girl…

This work is a series of four printed collages. Each is unique in subject matter, but they are all primarily made from images found in National Graphical magazines that have been composited through a digital scanner and digital image editing….

Each of these pieces contains a flavor of dissociation, most notably through their distortion of form and color. The human form is a subject in each; although obscured, bodies are most recognizable in fishbowl I and fishbowl III, and almost…

This piece is a set of brown paper tapestries painted with white acrylic ink and a gel pen. I also have the tools I used to make the piece mounted beside them. For this piece, I was really interested in…

DESCRIBE THE OBJECT: The color is what I am always interested in. No matter for pigments, the skin of a banana, or candle lights, I always focus on the color change. I’ve been trying to mix the pigments, or adjust…

These scans depict my face and putting on lip gloss, the different identification cards I must carry around with me, and soap bubbles which I found to look quite similar to a nebula or sky in space. Finding the objects…

In this set I’ll be looking at five pieces that I’ve worked on so far in our Drawing Machines class: Chili Scan, Kirby Databend, Snake-scanned, Sanitizer-scanned, and Simon-scanned Chili Scan This piece is a video scan I made showing a…
