Personal Statement
I'm interested in investigating the intersection between art, electronics, and physical computing within my arts practice and in various educational settings. How can technology extend or transform what is possible in art making? Rather than being passive users of technology, how can we be makers of technology that engage with the world? Combining materials from the computational world (i.e., micro controllers) with soft circuits (i.e., conductive fabric) and textiles, I'm attempting to bring the abstract or unseen into the physical realm. I collaborate with educators to develop inquiry based arts integrated curriculum to make technology more accessible to diverse learners and underrepresented youth.
