Not long now …

In a couple of weeks, I will be Artist in Residence with Matt Hulse, a fellow filmmaker in Reading Museum. I am returning to continue filming my dolls who will be celebrating May Day.

I began making and filming my dolls a few years back when researching for my MA in textiles as a project for my professional practice. It was surprisingly successful, and I am now recognised as a Stop Motion Animator and Costume Designer. That is not to say my other creative skills are no longer required on the contrary my needle work, drawing skills and storytelling have developed and feed into my filmmaking and relative merchandise.

I am taking all my dolls to the museum so they will form an exhibition while I film with a select 20 or so. They will be characters who will enact short episodes that illustrate a story of May Day festivities as they may have happened in the mid to late 19^th century.

I will post daily so please drop by.
