My artwork consists of stop-motion & 2D animation, ink & watercolour illustration, and acrylic painting. I’ve found animated characters resonate through emotional narratives, while my flat work is holistic and conceptually definitive. Drawing will always remain an integral component to preproduction and conceptual venting.
Through this traditional body of work, I am exploring the privileged occupation of indulging in new media and consumer technologies, while embracing the accompanying distractions along the way. With Western capitalism seeking to control what and how we consume, I’ve felt it is quite easy for nuanced voices to get drowned out by superficial expectations. I have a yearning for authenticity and understanding people during these isolated yet interconnected times, where my work aims to communicate a better understanding of new media’s grasp on our day-to-day lives.
