3D modelling
as an artistic practice

Explore digital worlds, animated bodies, immersive images and research-driven storytelling through 3D.

Not software for its own sake

3D modelling is a way of constructing images, bodies, environments, narratives and possible worlds.

My teaching combines practical knowledge of 3D production with contemporary art, critical theory, decolonial thinking, moving image and installation.

The focus is on developing a visual language of your own.

Concept before technique

My practice developed through contemporary art, site-specific work, critical curatorial studies, environmental engineering and digital production.

Teaching is a way of sharing methods, opening processes and helping others develop their own relationship with digital tools.

You do not need to reproduce my aesthetic. The aim is to find a visual and conceptual language of your own.
