"Habits of Hands" is a hand-drawn oil pastel animation (2022).
Based on interviews with women about cooking as second-nature.

These animations were created as part of the Final Year Project of my degree. It was born from my love for domestic cooking, a generally undervalued practice which is often written off as the mundane work of women. These animations accompany interviews with women, (my grandmother, my friends, and artist Jennie Moran) where they discuss their instinctive approach to cooking.

The full animation is available here.

This work was featured in Vittles Magazine as part of an essay I wrote about my final year NCAD project.
