即运动如何带给静止和物体以生机。
我也关注我们的运动构成——姿态和动作——是如何建构我们的身份的：尤其是我们如何呈现出我们的性别身份。这些学术探索呈现于我的绘画、动画与表演的相互投射，在这些过程中我成为了一个卡通角色或数字通道并得以提供启示。
Rather than using animation to create short films, I am concerned with deconstructingconventional ideas about animation and digital technology. Combining drawing,animation, video and live performance, my work explores animism:
Thevital spark of movement that brings the still and lifeless into motion.
I am also interested in how the movements we make - our gestures and actions - leadus to construct our identity: in particular how we perform our gender identity.These interests have taken many forms including still drawings with animationsprojected over them or performances in which I become possessed by a cartooncharacter or channel digital doubles and raise electric spirits.
In my more recent work, I have been movingaway from working purely with computers and experimenting more with drawing,silhouettes and shadows. I am currently working on a series of drawings for theVenice Biennale, which combine sketches of city workers drawn onto pages fromthe Financial Times with cut-out silhouettes of myself performing actions ofdespair.
In the projects I do, I create work both asan individual practitioner and also in collaboration with other artists,performers and specialists. I enjoy working with others in interdisciplinarycollaborations and am always interested in challenging myself. For example, atthe moment, I am developing a series of workshops in Mindfulness through DrawnAnimation in conjunction with artists, meditation instructors andeducationalists.
