This is a page with animations I have made thus far, which I have deemed worthy of a wider audience. I have written about them to varying degrees.

The following is a 'variation on the theme', it is heavily inspired by William Kentridge - Second Hand Reading, which I saw in the Whitworth Art gallery in Manchester, England.
I found the idea of using a book like a dictionary - in this case a French-English dictionary - as a paper medium interesting, and combined the idea with a generative alliterative poetic process using the dictionary pages at hand as the word generation corpus.

This is probably the longest animation I have made so far, I still intend on expanding it in both directions.
To start in the middle is to journey outwards to the boundaries to find the arena within which the ideas reside. To create a bounding box, drawing the lines around the edges too soon precludes an exploration of the area to construct the arena.
It is the Kentridge influence again of the rolling book pages seemingly 'hiding' away the animation behind a strata of meaning. It is through the framed construction of animation that brings the photographic 'sight' life.
