Circle
Stop-Motion Animation (1:27)
Circle as an originator of life. Circle as the first shape we see upon birth (the pupil and the sun). Circle as a void or a portal.
In these documented and staged vignettes using simple household objects the profundity of circle is explored. Sound ripples in coffee, your neighbor through a peephole, and in some strange steamed ether-soup? Circles live everywhere. Made between 2017-2018 this film is a part of a mixed-media series that uses alchemaic & natural geometry source texts to study the language of shapes and symbols.
Inner-Work
Stop-Motion Animation (1:27)
A shadow takes it's first steps inwards towards self... encountering both it's pain & potential.
In this film a frame-by-frame sand animation technique is used by making small incremental changes in grains of sand and photographing it from above. This technique was created in the 1970’s pioneering animator Caroline Leaf. In homage to the transformations that one can make in both the material and immaterial realm, this film was born. It was completed in 2024 and fuses mixed techniques: including sand, pixelation, table-top and paper animation as well as reflexive documentary footage. (See documentation at the bottom of page)
. Various Loops
Candle Practice
Tabletop Loop (0:03)
Getting through it, one candle at a time
A massive breakup, a big move, a feeling of complete unravelling. In order to focus away from the chaos and onto what was there I began a daily practice of candle lighting. By the time the candle is gone, perhaps the mantra will be absorbed. A reminder that change happens one minute, moment, drip at a time.
B-girl/Scientist
Day-in-a-Life Ethnography (2:31)
A chemist by day, a breaker by night.
