My work revolves around digitally animating objects of interest. I like creating and placing them in our real world as creatures with distinct personalities, using a mixed media approach to blend digital animation with filmed reality. My goal is simple; to entertain and intrigue viewers, leaving them both ‘weirded out’ and fascinated, craving more. Inspiration for my project stemmed from my fascination with places one would usually avoid, starting with Dublin City’s dark alleyways and then finally settling on crevices, gaps, and nooks. Here, I imagined my creature thriving, a small, squishy Blob yearning to roam freely. However, its blobby and unappealing texture means it must hide from humans who would recoil in disgust at its sight, leading it to navigate unseen through gutters and pipes.
