The Waking Dream
“The Waking Dream” is an animation that features simple shapes and stick figures that when seen together form a larger narrative about the trials and tribulations of life.
“The Waking Dream” looks forward and back. It is a low tech realization of a high tech world. The animation explores the relationship of an imagined past and future, taking into consideration the years of the pandemic and the effects of isolation.
Photo News
Photo News began as a daily Instagram project consisting of the posting of a collage of headlines and news images created each morning from the digital version of the daily newspapers resulting in montages that poetically references the goings on of the day. The video “Photo News” juxtaposes four years of these images.
