1972

My first animated film, inspired by the track 'One Of These Days' from Pink Floyd's Meddle album. This film was a continuation of my body of work as a painter and kinetic artist, with no thought to its prospects other than the joy of making it. I was a self-taught animator, inventing my own techniques through trial and error. The film went on to win awards across the world and lead to an invitation to work with Pink Floyd.
