This piece, titled DRIP is a looped animation displayed on two monitors. The animations are timed to interact with each other - the dripping water from the top monitor falls into the bottom screen. Each animation is done with a different method of animation for visual interest. The top screen is composed of roughly 25 pen and watercolour cut outs of water droplets, filmed one at a time, on top of an ink and charcoal drawing of a faucet.

The bottom animation of the jar is a graphite drawing which i erased, and redrew, depending on the placement of the falling droplet of water.
