Central Square
Abstract animation inspired by my commute through Central Square in Cambridge, MA. This film explores the sensory experience of moving through public spaces, the curiosity and anxiety that comes from being in the middle of a city. I use loops and cycles to experiment with the timeless quality of space that you return to each day, and how they can start to feel stuck in time.

4:3
Separate projections combine, unifying, becoming whole. Twelve animated projections combine to develop a rhythmic dialogue exploring the intrinsic relationship between sound and image using 16mm film, paint and a projector. Responding to a hand-drawn soundtrack, each projection is individually created by painting and scratching directly on 16mm film stock. 4:3 is available as a short film, an immersive installation, and in virtual reality.

[VR] MOWB
This work is a hand-drawn VR animation which can be experienced through a head-mounted display. This work allows the audience to immerse themselves into an abstract vision that expands around them like never before. By creating a mythology-like story of returning to the mother’s womb, the closed space in this VR was created to imitate being inside the womb of a mother.

Spines
This time the dream was about to make sense... During sleep and cornered by the lack of meaning a reluctant hedgehog creates a puzzle that can't be solved. But even within the dream the hedgehog is neither able to let it go nor to solve it and stubbornly tries to make sense of the absurdity...
