Last June I had the opportunity to use the studio space at Stryx Gallery for a month long residency, where I was able to develop the work I started at art school. I had just started dabbling in hand drawn animation but switched lanes for my final piece (all student's final pieces were displayed in the Degree Show so animation wasn't the best format). My practise at art school had centred around the body as well as posthumanism, so I had been making pieces using imagery of my own body. This too is my own eye. I had made this animation loop in previous iterations but this was the first one I made which incorporated hand printing methods. The moving eye in this version is made up of three A6 lino cut plates with 27 separate cells. The colour prints in the background are done using a gelli plate and paper stencils.

I love how it came out. My only gripe is that my scanner cannot pick up neon colours at all, so in the animation they are much more muted then in real life. Picture of the original prints below ♡
