The inclusion of animation, film and puppetry develop the performative nature of my art practice, this includes the physical movement, placement and assemblage of cut out elements in space and the conceptual feminist framework in which I work. I’ve wanted to do my cut out work in a way that moves…what made me interested in choreography and dance is thinking about representing movement through drawing … and I thought how can I visualise that in my work … Sally Smart
