8 sleeping cats for Ryan Gander. Each cat contains a contraption created by Fnord Inc. that utilizes programmed arduinos to mimic the realistic belly motion of irregular breath. Starting with a clay sculpt, each cat was cast in silicone and then fake fur was either glued on or plugged into the form. Some details were added around facial and paw areas, like whiskers, scratches and filth from an imagined life in an alley.
Zoetrope figures for Camille Henrot: Frame by frame, I created 3 dimensional sculptures from animations of Henrot's drawings for a series of tiered zoetropes by the Artist. Each object needed to not only resemble the feel of the original drawing, but each of the 12-16 poses needed to be captured exactly so that after the zoetrope began spinning, and a strobe light was added, the movement of the sculpts mimicked the whimsical motion of the animated characters.
