Created by Avery Vang and Paige Vang, Assortment is a collection of stop-motion and digitally animated films that explores the diverse possibilities of animation as an art form.

Bringing together a range of techniques, styles, and visual approaches, the collection highlights the creativity, experimentation, and storytelling that animation makes possible. From tactile, frame-by-frame movement to digitally crafted worlds, these films offer a glimpse into the many ways images can be brought to life, inviting viewers to experience animation through a variety of perspectives and imaginative expressions.

The artists

Avery Vang

bio

I am a Brooklyn-based animator that loves blending physical and digital mediums to create thoughtful, silly films! I graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in 2D Animation and while earning my degree, I fell in love with fabrication, time-based media, puppetry, creating films with my sister and filling life with art.

My work aims to uplift creativity, individuality, kindness and expression. I love to utilize my passion for craft and storytelling to spread positivity, promote good chit chat, and educate. I choose themes that are deeply personal to me, and approach tough subject matter with absurd metaphors to lighten dark topics into digestible stories. Most of all, I aspire for my work to bring people together.
