Synopsis
This prototype "sketch" demonstrates sequential morphing cycles from realist to abstract, driven by heartbeats to express the artists' drive to grapple with the vast and harsh Western Canadian landscape. It is the second of five experiments supported by a Creative Development Grant in Media Arts to an Individual Artist from the Canada Council for the Arts.

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him.
