“This began with producing a quick and dirty 12-frame walk-cycle of a single stick-man—fully deconstructed into its most basic formulation of over-lapping lines. What I always enjoy is taking one thing – a first draft, a first take, a first go – and then pushing it as far as it will go; in this instance, I just multiplied and layered this single walk-cycle to produce ‘caterpillars’ in a nod to Theo Jansen’s wonderful, rhythmic Strandbeests. My original intention was just to use this process to produce a series of graphical 2D images; that done, however, I then recompiled all the resulting 2D images back into an animated sequence to produce… whatever jazzy thing this is!” September 2024
