Porkhampton is an animated film intended as a remembered portrait of my home town, Stretford, Manchester. Working in a layered, straight ahead, hand drawn animation style highlighting the distortion between reality and the imagined. Movement and gesture is integral in the work, aiming to capture the subtle moments, the nature and use of body language whilst presenting these pillars hyperbolically. This project sparked an interest in experimental animation, which lead to inform my practice throughout the year.
