A Story is Not a Tree

DESCRIBE THE OBJECT Drawing from the world of platformer games, this piece has three main objects. The rainbow circles, the grayscale squares and the lavender platforms. Based on these objects, occasionally the background of the piece will flash this shade…

DESCRIBE THE OBJECT The lanterns rise from a far away castle, like fragments  of light. The sun has set, but it still paints the horizon. It feels like a dream, as a boat rocks gently against the water of the…

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.

I started off my diary form with a traditional journal entry. Basic, I know, but I took it quite literally when it was given as a warm-up assignment. I’d written in a journal before, but never quite took it to…

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…
