I created several artworks for each scene and character, along with swatches of marks which were then used by Ninaad to painstakingly texture and animate a 3D-modelled version of the woodcut world.
The Other Side VR premiered at Left to Devices, curated by Lotte Marie Allen & Tiger Mackie at The School of Visual Arts Flatiron gallery in 2018.
