The creation of My father and I dance in outer space began with a
question I had about the physical gestures of my father who is now
deceased. I wanted to visualize what it might be like if the two of us
could dance together. It could only happen in this futuristic, otherworldly
landscape. I used stop motion animation techniques to create the sense of
flight, dance and intergalactic connection.
