A Frog

I make animations which explore the relationship between the drawn line, imaginative transformation and moving image. The animation features a series of erased drawing, images in the work are generated by form and matter and assembled in the manner of animation but leading nowhere in particular. It is magical and disturbing, providing a sense of destruction between the interior and exterior of the body. 

It shows the erased traces of previous stage, and the movement of their completion is improvised, the trace of previous states is always cast upon movement in the present. The resulting animations last between six and nine minutes and are projected on a wall, delivering a sense of eternal transformation.
