At Shape & Shadow, we specialize in mixed media and stop-motion animation, creating stories that come to life through rich textures, handcrafted details, and thoughtful storytelling. Our work offers a variety of applications including commercials, music videos, projection design, miniature fabrication, and short-form animation for documentaries and feature films.
Hayley’s approach to animation is deeply rooted in experimentation with physical materials—paper, fabric, fibers, found objects, and natural elements. She strives to tell stories that are both playful and poetic, blending character-driven and abstract elements with a tactile, sensory quality. In an era dominated by digital media, she values the presence of the artist’s hand in her work, and mixed media and stop-motion animation offer the ideal way for her to explore these ideas.
