A phenakistoscope format using digital erasure techniques, representing flashes of memory and time, like an MRI scan capturing small subconscious movements like a glance, that happen in a millisecond, stored, as bits of information, yet unassembled.
strange neighbours
"strange neighbours” is a site specific animated installation created with three channels of video, originally on the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Croatia as part of Animafest Zagreb.
The work ispeaks to both an earlier time as well as the age of social media, representing notions of isolation and connection.
The animations began with sketchbook drawings, juxtaposing them and extending them into sequences to create a world for the viewer to enter into, to contemplate.
the world is on fire
Photographs of a glitching television fed into a machine learning program emerge changed and slowed down, leaving fragments of the original sources - tv news dissolving into what at times feels like peeling digital paint.
Motion Test 04 (out of several on vimeo account)
One of several looping animation sequences that can be made in response to an environment, playful, loose, colorful and abstract shapes. This is a sample. Using an iPad and the Looom software, the animations can be created onsite in a direct, gestural, responsive way.
HappyNewYear
Digitally hand drawn animation- celebrating various cultures through language. A descendent of French, Irish, and German immigrants to Cincinnati, I see Cincinnati as a rich mix of cultures. A project like this could be created for Blink.

Happy New Year!
To celebrate the New Year and the 60th Anniversary of ASIFA - Association Internationale du Film d'Animation, , animators were asked to create a short doodle greeting card, in just a few weeks.
This is my contribution, 13 animators (from the USA, BELGIUM, NORWAY and GREECE) each contributed animations.
