Broken Femur
Broken Femur is a film documenting an installation about the role of technology and cyber connectivity in isolating ourselves further within the bubbles of experience we already live in. The projected animation goes in and out of interacting with the physical objects and matter in front of the viewer, blurring the lines between object and screen, physical and cyber. The viewer watches down on what seems to be a physical body interacting with the animation, as the person ‘breaks their femur’ the projections make the viewer aware of the distance between physical contact and the contact within screens. This installation references anthropologist Margaret Meads’ ‘First sign of civilization’; a broken femur, and places it within our now cyber civilization.

Festering Sink Teaser
Over the past year I’ve made two installations that I’ve documented into two films. Festering Sink is a film documenting a projection mapped animation installation about our sensory and cognitive experience of data in a socially isolated world. The installation challenges the materiality of the Screen and our relationship to the digital objects we use. The viewer watches projected animations play in bowls and objects in and around a sink, as they interact with each other, the Mind of the sink becomes more and more mucky with data.

Butterflies
This is a collaborative project with Brogan Vandenio's on his film 'I wish the specticle had been me'. 'Magnificent' stylised stop-motion butterflies that represent the character's human condition, as well as interacting with them. The stop motion butterflies are made with reflective surfaces to create the ethereal glow effect in post production.

Rat Boy
This Animation is the first animation short I made, and it touches on our inner and suppressed primal hungers. A family of three are sat down for dinner. The young boy is terribly bored, but as his mind drifts he finds excitement in eating something other that a home cooked meal.
