Paper Title: Walking from Physical to Digital within 'Deep Waters'
"My talk is about Deep Waters, an animation installation that I created in 2020, and how the COVID-19 lockdown(s) tested my methodologies as a PhD researcher and artist. As animators, we have always faced screens and played with virtuality, but what happens when the computer screen becomes the main passageway to the real world, and how do these windows-inside-windows inform the practice and the theory?
Practice-as Research challenges me deeply, as I need to put into words work that is often created instinctively and in silence; for the same reasons, it can be a truly empowering methodology to a practitioner as it recognises that certain research insights can only be gained through creating the work itself."
