Kite Garment

The funnels act like small kites, cupping the wind and lifting the veils upward as the deltas gain the sky. The […]

Interactive Game

Tethered Magic is my invented kite interaction game. The object is to build your own kite using NASA modeling software and set weather conditions.

The object is to have fun developing balance, concentration and eye-hand coordination as you manipulate the wheel to move the marbles around the maze from the perimeter to the center. There is also a […]
