Original artwork description:

"Pearl Was Even More Nervous" - oil on Yupo, 11.5 x 16.5 inches

“So, I’m awkward with actual humans. It’s not paranoia about my hacked governor module, and it’s not them; it’s me. I know I’m a horrifying murderbot, and they know it, and it makes both of us nervous, which makes me even more nervous.” - MURDERBOT, Martha Wells, All Systems Red

In the search to capture emotion in art, I found myself deep into a series of bots...bots in ballgowns, bots in petticoats, bots in kimonos, bots with orb heads. The question is: can an emotionless thing evoke emotion? In fiction (i.e. MURDERBOT) the answer is yes. And in art? Well, the group of emoting bots in my studio also say yes. Sometimes being an artist is the greatest possible adventure. :)
