I made this Desktop factory in collaboration with Doro, we worked on it when I was in Hamburg and released it in bits first on instagram (the foodie parts) to confuse people a bit. Doro also collects things that people throw away (on the street, or washed up by the river) and we started tinkering with these till we came up with an idea.

February 15, 2017

What's Inside My Cassette Tape?

May 27, 2016

I choose a cassette tape last week because I’ve been piling up with side projects that I wanted to do and wanted something simple to animate that week, or so I thought! Knitting on its own is very time-consuming, let alone stop motion-ing it!
