I have had the pleasure of working with AGB events Creative Director Giles Westley and Parrtjima festival Creative Curator Rhoda Roberts for 5 years of the Parrtjima festival creating animation for the 'Grounded' Projection onto sand at the Parrtjima Festival in Alice Springs.
Each year I was able to animate the beautiful artworks of Aboriginal Artists, with each artwork sharing beautiful ideas and stories. I love the sensitive work of Art animation, bringing movement to the vibrant and intricate details of each artwork. Whether it was the shimmering stars of Margaret Bloomfield, the soft shapes of clouds by June Smith, or the intricate Dreamings of Benita Cavanagh, each artwork offered beautiful ideas to bring into animation. I carefully build up each artwork animation from individually painted and flickering dots and brush strokes.
From 2019-2022 I was the sole animator for the project while from 2023-2024 I had the pleasure of working with the talented Sam Hoh, Anna Fraser and Julian Burgess on the project. From 2019-2023 I worked on the project with AGB events and from 2024 with Grumpy Sailor.
