“I’ve been fascinated by optical illusions since childhood and have recently started experimenting with how I can create this effect. The Moire Zine is my newest piece and comes with an acetate overlay to create dynamic moire patterns. It’s different than my typical flipbook animations, but I enjoy seeing all of the different patterns and images come to life as the acetate slides around the book pages.” - Scott Blake
