Whether experimenting with storytelling, world-building, animation, or sculpture, an underlying devotion to the sequential becomes palpable — yet among these artists there is a textured, creative differing in the logic of ordered story composition: how the body can experience order in space, how a personal history can be redesigned through conventional comic form, how an understanding of narrative can be renegotiated by interacting with a technological diorama, and how original characters conceived beyond gender participate in traditional stages of life. ⁠
