Canvas in Motion

Making-of

Canvas in Motion

 

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.
