Till's Rings (Selfportrait)

In 1989, when 3D animation was still the sole domain of the likes of George Lukas and Pixar, the Commodore Amiga computer made it possible for an ambitious art student like me, to aspire to dream up a master’s thesis that was to prove that 3D animation, like photography at the beginning of the 20th century had to, was a legitimate art-form. After almost 20 years of thinking this piece lost, i just re-discovered an old VHS tape i gave my parents over 20 years ago, but which they thought lost as well…the quality is horrid, and lacks the meticulous look&feel that i honed in almost a year of work on this, but as a document of my own creative history, it is priceless to me…it was my attempt to combine my hand-drawings and intaglio etchings with a modern medium thought to be too sterile to qualify as art.
