Old Lesbians
Compostudio, 2023
I art directed and animated this documentary about—what else?—old lesbians.
Additional animation by Dani Nunes, Meghan McDonough, and Rengim Mutevellioglu.
about the art direction
Using assets from a vast archival trove, we combined digital collage with stop-motion animation to create a tactile, scrapbook feel reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's shadow boxes. We animated around fifteen minutes of animation in just under two months.
