This piece’s abstract story-line focuses on the various cultural changes experienced in America over the past couple of years, particularly the economic downturn and the resulting shift in values and beliefs of some of the population. The 800+ frames comprising this stop-motion animation were created by using a laser cutter to engrave wooden blocks. The frames were then photographed and assembled into the transfixing animation above.
