Process of Wonder
Media Room
A documentation of process in dealing with the grief of his brother’s death. “I make my work often subconsciously, from my own personal introspective experiences and psychology, dealing with loss, doubt, failure and other emotions.” Creating from that place, Culverwell used Stop Motion Animation and painting.
