VJ Quilt —
Mike’s Shirt —A tee-shirt built with LED strips, arduino, wood, and acrylic. Designed in the exact colors my brother needs.
My creative practice allows me to gently build a life, both public and private, where I am in tune with its shape and its particular shade.
Small VJ Quilt —
A scaled-down prototype created in preparation for her sister Large VJ quilt (a 4’ x 4’ project). She has two different “moving states,” adjustable speed, and fully customizable HSV color.
She uses digi-fab techniques, arduino, and RGB LED strip lighting.

Small Box Lamp —A small wooden box that uses a single incandescent bulb to create illuminated imagery on front and back.
Small Box Lamp was designed to also function as a scented object. The back opens and you can drop scented oils onto the bulb before turning on.
Plaid Cube —A wood, acrylic, LED strip, arduino, digi-fab cube lamp that is an exploration of light-based versus pigment based color.
The plaid pattern continues down onto the wooden base. Her acrylic “skirt”— an opaque circle— allows her to be shifted from a “daytime” to “evening” look.
WHY SWEEP THE CINDERS...
In my creative practice I climb down the ladder, put the glass slipper on my own foot, and build the ball for myself (and everyone I know). What I mean is, instead of waiting for the prince and his kingdom to come, I have learned to pursue my own dreams. I do this by dreaming up and building objects using a mixture of traditional and new media. I work with wood, acrylic, LEDs, microcontrollers, lamp parts, and other materials including fabric and projectors. I create, live with, and create again—objects of my own design. The objects I create are in the pursuit of my questions and interests.

Bouquet Lamp —A wood, acrylic, LED, and arduino lamp object meant to replace a vase filled with flowers in the wintertime. Designed and built to provide task and ambient light.
The glowing vase has 6 different color scenes, and the incandescent bulbs dim.

Orb Lamp —
Orb Lamp iterates my ongoing exploration of the shifting hue of flower petals. Many flowers shift from pink and green to purple and blue before they die.
So do I!
