Finnriver Cider Making: Farmcrafted with Love

This 2 minute short is an animated depiction of the cider making process at Finnriver Farm & Cidery in Chimacum WA. I've used a mix of traditional hand drawn animation with stop-motion, needle-felted dolls to tell the story. Thank you to everyone who came to the screening at Finnriver's Apple Day celebration! I appreciate all the community support for what I do.

The Fantastic Mr. Love

This is a collaboration with my very talented twin brother. Eric wrote and recorded the soundtrack, and I animated it. I refer to this as an "animated business card."

Boulton Farm

                   


Boulton Farm is an animated short I just completed for Jefferson Land Trust in Washington State. Preserving working farmland is a large part of JLT's mission, and they were interested in telling the story of one of their current projects through my animation.  I used all the standard material- wire-frame, needle felted dolls, paper, cardboard, fabric, and some clay. It was a true joy to make.

Consider contributing to JLT so they might feel compelled to continue supporting community outreach projects like this one!  Find them here.

Some Like it Raw

10 min, Spring 2010

This is my Hampshire College Div III. It's an animated documentary about raw milk, using wire armature dolls, water colors and fabric cutouts. Thank you to all the wonderful farmers and raw milk advocates who made this possible!

Birth of a Harpsichord

As seen at the Nasher, and the North Carolina Museum of Art!

This is my latest piece in its entirety- an exploration of the intersection between art, music and history. It pairs interview audio with handmade puppet and needle felted animation.

I am currently hard at work on my first commissioned piece. It is an 8-minute puppet animation chronicling the building/painting of this unique instrument:

It is slated to screen alongside a concert series at the end of September. More information on these events can be found here.
