The best word that describes who I am is artist.   Creating my own worlds and hybrid animals is something I have given my life to and coming to Parsons has helped me push that passion further.  Studying in both the MFA Fine Arts and Design/ Tech schools has helped my practice develop immensely.

For my project this week I decided to build a model from the laser-cutting machine. Using Adobe Illustrator you can directly load in your design to the computer’s software and then that data is sent over to the laser machine that cuts away material referencing the illustrator file that was uploaded.   I am trying to build my own little excavator and place it within my new sculpture.  The sculpture is part: family past, hungry animal, wound, and play set.
