description:
My work is about movement. It strives to reflect upon the phantasmagoric qualities of animationthe ability to bring life to the abstract. Norman McClaren stated, "What happens between each frame is more important than what happens on each frame." It is those moments between images juxtaposed together that create the illusion of movement. In that space, it is possible to immerse oneself in the gesture and movement. It is in that dance, that kinesthetic energy captured in the metamorphic quality of line and forms on screen that allows us to embody it and transform with it. It is outside the body, freeing us from gravitational weight, taking us inward; where we can be anyone and do anything free from the strings of the world and in tune with the inner self.
