Dynamic Physical Projects

This is a gallery of all the physical projects I have worked on with dynamic elements, from complex automata to lamps to interactive experiences.

Portrait of Woman

Brass, Steel, Paper Maché, Wood

A lamp with a sand-cast, carefully polished base in the form of a woman, with a lampshade composed of steel rods welded into shape and sheathed with paper maché.

Bigfoot Automata

Using foamcore, colored paper, paint, and yarn, my partners and I created a working automata featuring cams, shakers, sliders, and other mechanisms to physically animate a scene of bigfoot prowling through the woods.
