Artist Statement:
"My work is a reflection of my eperience and how my family helped me push through my final year of studies despite setbacks from COVID19. I’ve always liked comics and digital drawing art styles hence I’ve decided to attempt at these styles for my project. However, since I wanted to make it more engaging for the audience, I’ve decided to make the drawing into a mini motion video to explore my personal experience" — Melissa Moo
About the artist:
Melissa Moo
Melissa Moo is an emerging artist who recently moved from Werribee to Bendigo, where she has embraced the supportive and connected community. Although her passion for drawing was sidelined by studies and work since high school, Multicultural Arts Victoria's Duniya Behter program reignited her creativity.
Through the program, she connected with like-minded individuals who supported her in creating a project that combines comic-style illustrations and stop-motion techniques. This experience not only deepened her artistic motivation but also introduced her to a diverse network of creatives, inspiring her to continue exploring her craft.
