ANIMATION

Zachary Tyler Vickers's animation practice spans historical techniques, genre, and medium. He is interested in the texture and materiality of animation—the artist's presence—as well as minimalist, colorful digital animation. His eye is drawn to the negative space of compositions, and his ear is tuned to soundscapes that create synesthetic harmony via experimental sound production and manipulation. He has an MFA from Temple University's Film and Media Arts program.
