The animated body shifts in smear frames through the history of painting, parroting famous depictions of women. She tests the postures by inhabiting them and promptly discarding them, rejecting the fantasy that each represents. The cartoon body is confined by the frame but thrives in constant transition.

A forensic study of a private space. The human subject is absent, but her room is investigated through a computer's eye. Linework aligns into fleeting representations, as the architecture perpetually collapses and rebuilds. Offscreen imagery gets pulled in and recombined in a morphing entropic cycle. A meditation on instability and the ownership of one's environment, possessions, and body.

Precarious and fluid arrangements constantly interrupt one another in a montage of waiting, anticipating, and transitioning forms. Created over the course of several weeks in shared studio spaces, these simple animated segments were developed directly in collaborative response to one another; ideas, images, challenges and structures ping-ponging back and forth between the two animator’s light boxes.

Jill explores the idea of the rebellious cartoon body. Set in a plain white room reminiscent of a gallery space or a testing laboratory, an acousmatic voice interacts with Jill by command. Jill is a cartoon that shows the wear and tear of slapstick, maintaining dents on a body that seems to feel no pain. The piece speaks to power dynamics and the ambivalent relationship between creator and creation, recalling Gertie the Dinosaur and the asymmetrical interaction of Frankenstein to his monster.

A slapstick retort to Richard Serra's 1968 film Hand Catching Lead.

Initially created as a 2-channel installation for the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. Two animated loops of different duration were projected on opposite walls, constantly phasing and lining up in different combinations with overlapping sound. The Negotiation is referring to the action of the viewer, who can hear both but can only view one animation at a time while standing in the space between the frames, and the irresolvable dialogue between the constantly shifting forms.

Everything leaks at least a little. A tactility poem.

A hand-drawn animation created with the straight-ahead animation concept as a seed, a process that invites id and improvisation, allowing the unconscious mind into the piece as it grows. Stone Fruit was drawn while ruminating on personal and societal concerns around body and germination.

Painted formless figures haunt recent photos of emptied-out public spaces. As cel-animated smear frames, they perform various repetitive acts in these settings, with movements expressing a helpless, frantic energy felt in our current moment. The film is a string of varied evacuations – earth and organs are emptied, situations are fled. The figures become displaced from their locations, as their environments dissolve and their printed record evaporates.
