RHED-C DOCUMENTARY & ANIMATION
I worked as an artist with the RHED-C research team to design and deliver creative workshops for people with lived experience of eating disorders or eating distress. Focusing on abstract mark making and use of colour, the workshops investigated their experience of online support during COVID-19.
Following the workshops I worked with Dr Henry Collingham to create an animation. Using the visual data from the workshops, the animation is a powerful and accessible way to share the participants stories.
This documentary introduces our process of creating the animation, and is then followed by the animation itself.
It was awarded TOP 3 FILM at the prestigious Computer Human Interaction Conference (CHI) in Honolulu in 2024.
