Tied Down

Tied Down is an embroidered stop-motion animation using old scraps of fabric found in the home attic and charity shops. It tells a story of leaving home and creating your world from scratch. While it celebrates the thrill of new beginnings, it also acknowledges the comfort found in familiar bittersweet memories.
