Painting & Animation
“Carasoul: a Portrait in Nth Dimensions is an animated surrealist 4K film. My work visualizes temporal, immaterial sensations as spatially material extensions of the body. Like the physical matter of the body and the electric experience of the psyche, this hybrid animation style demonstrates the unification of the carnal and the spiritual through the materiality of stop-motion paint and the super-saturated color of digital animation. My fascination with human origins, particularly our gifts of individual personality, self-awareness, and intelligence, drives my inspired pursuits through art history, cognitive science, and theoretical physics.”
