Storage as Art

Deep into summer and trying to stay cool indoors. I recently finished an animation dedicated to ice cream novelty treats made out of paper cutouts. A while back I started making envelopes out of tracing paper to store all the elements of my animation. I love tracing paper for it’s cloudy transparency. The photo included with this post captures the dreamy image quality that is created with the tracing paper. Makes me want to create a series of photographs using this technique.

Enjoying Every second of Spring

This year I have been making an effort to appreciate every phase of Spring. The changes in the plants can happen over night and if you are not paying attention you can miss Spring completely. This Spring I have been working on drawing and collage this month, mixing and matching mediums and making just to make and not have an end goal. This moth drawing is one of my experiments, I like the way it turned out and plan to do more!
