Inspired by a childlike sense of joy and optimism, this film explores the interconnectedness of sound and visuals through physical process.
To create the bold animated patterns, I used a technique called strata-cut. I made a series of solid clay logs, moulding the clay so patterns were embedded within. I then cut the logs a thin slice at a time, taking a photo with each slice. When played consecutively, this creates movement between the shapes.
With Love was made in collaboration with musician Fetle Wondimu Nega and commissioned as part of SIGNAL Screen x Sound 2022.
