“Intersect” Cardboard, basswood and balsa, 38 X 26 X 6” Cornell Summer College 2017
For this project, I was given the operational word “intersect”. Utilizing the unique makeup of the conjugated cardboard, I slid each stick of basswood through the gap within materials from the very core. By repeating/ omitting this step in various orientations, I was able to create a multi-directional space

A second iteration of the cube, this model responds to and grovws from a sliding door, hoping to use the latter’s mobility to create intersections to the next level. https://youtu.be/w5nPVdKNSV0 - B slides towards A - B begins to intersect with A - Their intersection activates C

An Orange Dichotomy Plastic, wire, cardboard, spray paint and heat gun 20 X 28 X 8� March - April 2017
During months of salmon surveying in my junior year of high school, I was able to learn about the life cycle of salmon and observe them swimming, resting and spawning in local creeks. Because of the enormous amount of energy spent during their upstream migration, most of the salmon die after reproduction.

Highway 99 Charcoal and conte, 18 X 24� October, 2017
In this drawing I intended to explore the relationship between the transitory and the continuous on a more personal level. Bearing a close resemblance to the dichotomy of the salmon cycle, my continuous growth as a person can also ments of individualized experiences. A becomes a hybridized map of a series of who I am today.
