Lucy Ellis is an experimental animator based in London. In her work she explores the digital and analogue through experimenting with process and materiality. She enjoys working with scrap and found materials repurposing them to form new identities and narratives differing from their original purpose or intention. The texture of materials is important to her practice, exploring how it evokes memory and time.

Exploring the interaction of motion and sound, and the further exploration of the digital and analogue. Through collecting materials, I explored the form of the objects as they are, and how they can be manipulated through stop motion. Using the act of poiesis (giving life to something inanimate), the interaction of sound to these movements alters the perception of them e.g., reluctance, mechanical, and stilted movements. All the materials and sounds existed on my desk and only my desk. The limitation to one single object (my desk) and what it carries on its surface presented both freedom to explore the depths of the desk while also maintaining restriction. Through collecting data of one material e.g., the stamps, made me question the differing textures and properties of the same object in many different ways.
