As an artist and stop motion animator I use old fashioned film making techniques and pre cinematic apparatus's to make my works. My aim is to use simple and found materials and combine them with these techniques to create the 'persistence of vision' which magically transforms a series of static images into ones that seem to be moving of their own accord. It is easy to forget that there was a time before moving images and that when they were first produced moving images were a huge novelty. Seeing static images come to life for the first time must have filled people with wonder and intrigue. My mission as an artist is to create experimental humorous art that enables an audience to feel that same wonder and intrigue by showing them moving images in a way that they have not experienced before.
