“When the lived experience of architecture untangles the complexity of memory and imagination, light becomes the only medium to grant access to the space in order to imagine: and so the ephemeral moments of our recollections become shaper.”
I studied Film & Animation at The Art Institute in Bournemouth and Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Art in London.
I’m currently teaching at Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo and i'm a freelance educator within various international academies and schools; my main topics are animation, videographics and computing for visuals.
I conduct workshops on expanded cinema and tra-digital animation as part of international meetings or within the European educational program.
I’m the founder and creative director @ mammasONica and Head of International Relations and Erasmus Mobility at Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo.
