Joel Simon and Steve Noonan has been working professionaly in the field of animation for many years and have received both national and international acclaim for their work.
For this joint exhibition Joel will be presenting work form a project entitled May Vary which represents a little snapshot of an experience which he had as an amputee. Standing out, as he did on a particular day, by default, as opposed to standing out by design. Steve on the other hand will present an insight to the mechanics of his new animation Pat’s World which looks at the everyday life of a children’s animated character who brings the joys of reading, writing and counting to the nation, that is however until the camera stops rolling and the true identify of ‘Pat’ becomes known to the world.
