Created during Quicktrack Artist Residency at Quickdraw Animation Society
An animated projection depicts an imaginary, surrealistic dreamscape full of strange animals and plants taking over a building in downtown Calgary. Inspired by oceanic, under-water life, curious creatures emerge from openings in the facade, slowly filling the building with vibrant, tactile imagery. Using stop-motion animation techniques, the creatures constructed with wire, yarn, and wool felt come alive in an interactive dance with the building.
