I often find myself fabricating pieces to express my gratitude for our natural world. I love to highlight the intricacies present in the fur and skin of living creatures. I feel that recreating their physical form with the help of digital technologies allows me to more fully understand the world around me.
As a film and new media artist, using software such as Rhino 3D and Scaniverse in conjunction with fabrication tools such as laser cutters, CNC Routers, and Arduino microcontrollers allows me to bring environments, props, and characters to life.
I was asked by a classmate to create an articulated rabbit puppet for his film, Chasing Rabbits. This task was initially daunting, as my puppet would be replaced with a live rabbit for certain shots, making realism crucial.

As a co-creator for Delmar Makes It Worse, an upcoming puppet short, I created a half-size grandfather clock that serves as a vital set piece. I used Rhino 3D, 100W laser cutter, and CNC shopbot.

Using a MIG welder, I created a medieval-style helmet as a response to facial recognition software used during public protests. This was my first experience with welding and I plan to implement it into my practice in the future.
As an exercise to improve my comfortability using Rhino, I created a stacked contour wall hanging of a small cat using a 100W laser cutter.
I modeled and 3d printed a ray gun based off of Spaceman Spiff's from Calvin and Hobbes. (Progress picture)
