I love what I do in the academic world, but art has always fueled my soul. When I am not writing, teaching, or doing research, I spend my time producing a variety of mixed-media art! My art is eclectic as I am still finding my styles, preferred mediums, and muses. Some is inspired by my work in robotics and AI, some is inspired by my environment, travels, and the people in my life. I look forward to sharing more of the art I produce!

AI agents with biological cycles

Check out my latest art installation and project at hrmnl.ai where you can interact with ai agents that have been embedded with hormones, how might menstruation and circadian rhythms serve as relevant filters for creating agents that rest with us?

check out the affiliated research paper on arXiv and a visual copy of the poster here.

Menstruation is a deeply physical process, beyond the emotional fluctuations and changes in energy. Above is a short film of menstruators diarying the ai agents' prompts, many apologizing for how long it took to write and others for their poor handwriting. These apologies serve as a reminder of what we are conditioned to think is now preferable - quick, neat, efficient - how can we reframe our priorities to account for individual differences, the messiness of humanity and the creativity that arises from that?

My premier Art exhibition

Step into my Office: AI Agency at Work

In an exploration of the impacts of ai on our environmental and social landscape, I bring together motifs of mystery and play into the conversation around our environments and identities as influenced by AI

A video-blog about this dynamic art exhibition from April 2025 is coming soon!

UNDERWORLD · Uncanny Valley

In collaboration with Tiresias, who works to bring "A Ritual Celebration of the Weird and the Wild" to life through performance, we developed a spectacle that questions agency, autonomy and the uncanny. Norma, an arduino based puppet-robot made her drag-debut in April of 2024. We hope to bring her back to a show near you.

Glass Blowing

In my free time, I am also a glassblower! I have been blowing glass for over two years and have worked as an apprentice at the Blooming Creative Glass Center producing pumpkins for our annual "Great Glass Pumpkin Patch", but I am just starting my experience as a glass artist.

Hand blown jelly donuts! I am beginning to share this work on my instagram @frooting_bodies and through my storefront on GoImagine, a community-driven platform and strengthening the handmade community.

Jewelry

Anyone who knows me knows I love a good pair of earrings. I find that they add a little bit of joy to my outfits and help me fulfill my personal style, that I describe as "sophisticated seven year old" featured to the left are some recent earrings I've made, including pairs made from currency I had lingering at the bottom of my coin purse on my travels over the years.

After a few seasons of hanging in our living rooms, I upcycled these string lights into earrings - no, they don't light up (yet) but they are a fun and festive addition.

Stay tuned for more art works with upcycled string lights!
