My work uses technology both as medium and inspiration. In the animation Boom -> Bust. Experimenting with 3D printing inspired me to use the technique for stop motion animation. Experimenting with simulation techniques in 3D animation software led me to the shapes for the 3D prints. I used the 3D printing artifacts to my advantage and combined the shapes with junk found in my basement. As with most of my work, the audio plays an important role in supporting and enhancing the video.
