SFMOMA - 3D animation
Client: SFMOMA // San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
Roles: 3D animator, Enviroment artist, Project manager
Breif: Make an animation following the storytelling of a voicerecording.
San Francisco native Kay Sekimachi is a pioneer in the revitalization of fiber arts and weaving as a method of artistic expression. A “weaver’s weaver,” Sekimachi is inspired by the shapes, forms, and colors stemming from her Japanese heritage, and what she learned from artist Chiura Obata when both were living in a Japanese internment camp. In this animated short of her oral history, she invites us to follow the threads of the cultural influences and historical moments that led her to the loom.

I love making flowers. I knew I needed something a little more simple and this was just me trying to test the boundries of the style and how many details was too much.
