- Animation
- Title Design
Ksha-sha, an animation embedded into a 180-page brick of paper made from ‘dog-strangling vine’.
This animation is made with ‘dog-strangling vine’, a plant species classified as invasive in Canada. The goal was to make an animation that felt a part of paper, and to tell a story of finding home in a new environment. Masumi and Elena collected the plant material locally, and together we used it to create both sheets of paper and serpentine characters that crawl about the space, learning to spread out.
Each new frame is layered on top of the last, creating a single artifact with the animation hidden throughout. Read more about the process on Nik's substack.
Co-directed with Nik Arthur
In collaboration with Masumi Rodriguez and Elena Kirby
