My final project for Foundation Time class, we were given complete creative freedom to make an art piece/game you can interact with. I started thinking….you know, SCAD bathrooms are really unique, and color coordinated in fact. We can experience 4 out of the 5 senses, being sight, sound, smell, touch but not TASTE !! How cheated I felt by this realization, so I made a video of the bathrooms, edited it, and curated jelly bean flavors in many toy toilets that you’d eat from upon watching the footage of the bathroom theme. I’m curious what you think these bathrooms would taste like…(Click on me!)

As a passionate lover of compelling stories, I am inclined to tell a few myself. Such a desire cannot be smothered, but only added to in forms of writing, supervising, storyboarding, acting, etc. All fashions in which I can contribute, will be seen to and expanded upon. This is only the beginning of a lifetime of storytelling.
