Over the course of five months, I researched and recreated several harmonographs, a victorian machine that illustrates harmonic relationships between energies. Completely covered in hand-sewn soft sculpture, viewers were invited to touch and interact with the harmonograph, and the energy inputted created unique scribbling drawings. Exhibited at Reed College from May to September, 2022.
