Each painting contains an object I saved from my childhood home.
I’ve been animating walls in abandoned buildings for a few years now.
‘Talking Walls’ is an ongoing project. This, however, was my first ‘animation on canvas’.
My other work often disappears when buildings are demolished,
this time I wanted to create something that would last.
I set out to paint the work first and add an element that I could animate directly on the canvas.
The result is a painting that stands on its own and a video (gif) that shows the animation in loop.
