Finding the inherent motion of objects and images, found or constructed, has been a methodology for me. I have been primarily interested in different meanings which motion can create: tense, bold, unsure, fixed.

In my animated objects I have been working with the idea of circularity and the limitations of the animation loop, which sets restrictions and at the same time distills movement to its essential qualities.

Lately my artwork has dealt with movement or the lack there of. There is no physical motion in the moving image, it is made of still frames shown in succession. So motion as a medium in animation does not actually exist. This is what interests me: the illusion. Often, my subject matter has to do with exposing this illusion, while at the same time retaining the illusion intact.
