I am an illustrator and animator based in Glasgow. My animation practice mixes frame by frame animation with filmed footage, 3D-animation and digital 2D-animation. My work is driven by irritation and speculation, looking to process agitations through drawing, scratching and gestural mark making. By re-imagining and re-framing marginalised narratives, I explore what it means to occupy and navigate space via a Black Queer experience, often through absurdist themes. Alternate and imagined realities reveal the social implications of identity and race, shifting between the interior and exterior of experience, or centring and exaggerating the limitations of the body in space and time.
