Each artist centres artisanal animation techniques in a series of dynamic worldbuilding studies. Wu's series focuses on the materiality of glass in optical magnification of insect and molecular life, while Milardo’s series explores textural qualities of illuminated watercolour and gouache paint within familiar natural environments.
The works featured in Refractions were produced as part of the Animate Materials Workshop, directed by Dr. Alla Gadassik. The workshop is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
