Animator & motion designer exploring ecology, myth, and surreal storytelling.
I create hand‑drawn and digital animation, projection‑mapping performances, and hybrid installations. Recent work includes Beyond Climate Breakdown (with Peter Friederici & Austin Frick), Geometry in Proximity — Dark Matter at CCA Golden Mean, The Immensity of the Search bear walk cycle, and the mobile performance Pedal‑Powered Projections for ARTx 2026.
Artist Statement
My practice explores how images move through public space and memory. I’m interested in the friction between the natural world and human systems—how a projected moth wing lands on brick, how a bear walk loops across a storefront, how a street becomes a temporary cinema. I work across 2D/3D animation, projection, and print to ask small questions with lingering afterimages.
