Worm is a process led stop motion project, inspired by films such as Dimensions of Dialogue, Orgesticulanismus and Eraserhead.
I prefer to work with physical materials and consider the ways that drastically different techniques can be used in tandem. Stop motion in all its forms has allowed me absolute freedom to play with materials, and I feel my final film, Worm is my most successful exploration of mixed media in animation to date.
Much like David Lynch, I don’t intend to describe the meaning of my work. I encourage audiences to engage with it personally, and consider their own interpretations. Worm is tactile, unsettling, and intended to evoke a strong emotion. Any strong emotion will do.
