ARTIST STATEMENT

My new work in experimental animation is an exploration of dreams, fantasy, memories, symbols, personal myths and narratives. New to the medium, I have worked primarily in the past with printmaking, painting, drawing and textiles. I took my first animation class in 2006 at Harvard University (as a grad student in the Arts and Education program) studying under the English animator Ruth Lingford. The freedom and freshness of the medium seduced me. I have been creating various short pieces and experiments since then.

My work combines the use of performance, shadow puppetry, cut-paper, small-scale sculpture, set design, installation, costume design, puppetry, drawing, painting, stop-motion and pixillation animation/video. Through animation/video I synthesize these various mediums.

I use sculpture/drawing/painting as branches of the time and space of the video to reveal the before/after--inside/outside that a video cannot show. This extension is part of the internal logic and structure of my work.
