This summer I was awarded a two month residency at the Banff Centre. I worked on an animation concerning various characters in an ecosystem specific to that location. This includes: the spring water on Sulphur mountain, the endangered Banff Springs Snail, the malacologist who studies the snail, and the tourists that visit the springs. Having a bit of distance from that work has inspired me to rework parts of the animation, so here are some story boards I've been working on. I hope to share the final work soon.
Sketchbook - jarden shapes
Analyzing garden plans to learn about the shapes and rules found there. I spent a bit of time collecting images at the library at the Muséum National D'Histoire Naturelle. I'm also thinking of shapes and movement between concepts of general to specific, and specific to general.
Research - containers & contents
Visiting the gardens in Paris and seeing their particular designs has got me thinking about containers and contents.
Canada Council Art Residency at Cité Internationale Des Arts
I just arrived last week for a four month residency at Cité internationale des Arts. I plan to spend my time exploring, researching, and making new animated video.
