No Kill Shelter (2013 - present) collage animation with paper and cels, various electronics, dimensions variable

No Kill Shelter, an ongoing installation project, features an expanding array of objects born from interests in materials, waste, and old technology. Animated loops inspired by mesmerizing computer graphics play on discarded monitors and computers decoupaged with wrapping paper. Highlighting rapid technological obsolescence and the role of abstract animation in everyday life, the “screensavers” question the preciousness and fetishization of antiquated technology and the relationship between fine art, design and craft.
