      The Pillflower Project consists of scanned images of pills and tablets, digitally manipulated into flowerlike Mandelas, as well as actual medicinal pills physically assembled into miniature flower sculptures. These two and three dimensional pillflowers are then used to decorate both functional and sculptural work to create a veritable pillflower world. The Pillflower App is a gamification of the project where the user can grow, gather, play with, dream with and gift the pillflower designs. The grow function allows the user to challenge themselves to recreate pillflowers. The gather function leads to collecting all 200 plus pillflowers that have been designed.

      White Cart Loom is developed in response to scientific research seeking to interpret and understand the data encoded in the biological process of shell formation in now endangered freshwater mussels. The project connects biodiversity with human creativity and its first expression through programming, with textile designers using the first programmable machine, the Jacquard loom. At Paisley Scotland, this process was used to explore the creative possibilities of the world-renowned Paisley pattern.
