in 2017 i explored yarn as a medium for capturing facial expressions and emotions.

​

I was in development for my thesis film and while exploring how to capture such a painful personal story,

I instinctively wanted to protect myself.

​

I chose to make the animated character that represented trauma to be made out of something comforting.

Yarn.

​

I would be touching it for dozens of hours as a stopmotion-animated character

and i wanted to feel as safe as I possibly could in the process.

​

I've always found yarn to be endearing and a natural medium of connection.

weaving, knitting, crocheting

​

a continuous strand through dancing hands building connective tissue
