A Story is Not a Tree

When I first began work on my conference project, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do. I hadn’t ever had to make a physical conference project before, only written papers, so at first I just decided to make…

This is a still image from my first rescan, where I focused on dancing as a subject (the original video that this image came from was the crab rave video). With my rescans, I mostly decided to work with different…

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…

One of my favorite things about art is being able to create from a vision and what I enjoy the most is getting to create art that represents me as a person. Sometimes it is impossible to describe a person…

This piece is a heavily distorted video. The screen begins a bright magenta before seemingly “breaking apart” into a fragmented image. Bright, saturated colors, alongside dark blacks and bright whites fill the screen. The original video’s text and image are…
