the citrus project
the citrus project
the vessel is hand sewn from orange peel creating a teapot like shape.
the accompanying cups are the rinds of lemon and lime.
in an ideal situation, this theoretical design would infuse hot water inside the teapot with the essence of orange. when poured, the orange would combine with lime and lemon cups creating a citrus tea.
the protective mask project
the protective mask project
in times of such uncertainty where wearing a mask induces thoughts of anxiety and stress, this protective face covering is meant to combat these feelings.
commonly calming scents of eucalyptus and lavender combine creating a relaxing breath for the wearer of the mask.
the method of a bain marie is used to adhere the wax to the scents and then to mesh fabric supported by a metal wire frame adjustable to the wearers contour.
magic in music
magic in music
smoke, stone, body (my version), water
this sound represents the clash of two different realities. referencing sounds in modern day, a version of what a lazy sunday in new york city in the 1920’s is visually inferred.
hanging out of your fire escape watching the traffic go by, your love cooks dinner for you in the background while you hear wandering jazz coming from an undisclosed location- most likely another open apartment window nearby.
i often fantasize about this time period and creating a sound and scent representing my mindseye of this time brings me one step closer as i close my eyes and take in the senses- link to sound
the aromatic avatar project
the aromatic avatar project
the necklace is hand carved from pine as well as scented with pine. the shackled æffect represents a tie to where the character originally came from, the forest.
the knit bandana serves as a nod to wild living and is symbolic of this lifestyle within everyday life. it is scented with “green” and has a strong grass, oak, and moss notes.
i see these objects as comfort items relating to the forest that i dearly miss while living in a city- putting them on transports me mentally into this “eve” forest dwelling version of myself.
the magic potion project
the magic potion project
a ceramic vessel holds the potion originally inspired by the green witches of salem.
the earth connotations to the witch's practice is represented through the color choice of the vessel, as well as the scent within the viles.
green, body, and light floral from the scent kit combine in boiling water to add a temperature element, discoverable when the vials are held.
the ritual alter project
the ritual alter project
the cairn alter is inspired by cairns that you would spot by a river bed or on top of a mountain. though their cultural origin is not from one place, their significance in presence and meditational stacking transcends the past.
unfired stoneware clay is scented with the stone from the scent kit. this piece is meant to be interacted with, as the viewer has the oportunity to absorb the meditational escape to nature though unstacking and restacking the towers of "stones".

the utopian body group project
clothes maketh the man is a group effort to demonstrate the connection that we all share with the wears that we place on our bodies day to day. the selections from all of the different participants in the group range from a favorite worn out pair of pants to a sweater handed down through two generations.
we all share the feeling of enthrallment with certain items in our wardrobes, how does this collection transcend us and reach beyond our bodies?
the out of the box group project
the out of the box group project
using the sentiment behind the of scent green, our group created a "reversal of nature" so to speak, where nature inspired objects live on the inside of a structure as opposed to outside.
sitting inside this immersive space brings peace and relaxation as you are able to sit in grass and flowers by the fireplace and in an enclosed meditative atmosphere.
the sanctuary final project
the sanctuary final project
scent final.movIMG_2964.mp4my sancturary is inspired by a frame work for anyone to take on as their own. the box emplores the use of a consolidated "safe space" for one to use as they please. i used the space to form clay flowers, which i find relaxing and calming in practice. the time limit i set for myself in the making of this grouping of flowers was the length of stop making sense, my favorite album that i grew up listening to by the talking heads. as we all are constantly in a place of flux and stress, my sancturary holds senses of calming scent, light, texture, and sound at its forefront, intending to ease the participant into a peaceful environement.
