This series of work was created in conjunction with the Mechanisms robot drawings. I chose to do a series of self portraits showing the mundane nature of my day to day life as a graduate student. Surrounding myself with gadgets or "coping mechanisms" in order to pass the time. I was attempting to create a silent narrative that tells the story over a short period of time.
