Lines come together and clash producing a creative disruption that leads to new lines being produced, borders dissolving and then reappearing. Clashing lines create new possibilities for redefinition. This short silent film employs digital green screen to create fleshy layers seeping underneath and being revealed, and other sets of imagery coming through.

Now existing digitally, the drawings were then layered over one another and green screen processes were applied to create arresting tensions between the lines. The marks without sound makes you stop from thinking about the moment it was drawn and now put into a different space the viewer concentrates on the layers – all these tensions in the lines being made.
