A&D ANNUAL 2021
Sandra Gunniga Thomson
Sandra Gunniga Thomson's work explores the ecosystem of connections shared between her mother's hometown in Southern Thailand, and a local wildly grown fruit, called 'look yee', which is mostly inaccessible in its fresh form outside of South-East Asia. Named after the village in question, the animated short film 'Na Si Thong' simulates evocative memories of both the place and fruit through surreal imagery, highly saturated environments and narration in dialect. Her practice extends beyond animation to all forms of illustrated storytelling — whether that be through physical works like oil paintings or shared on paper through comics and zines.
