Kunyi is compelled by her love for dance and drawing
to look at dance as if it were a three-dimensional drawing process,
rendering lines, patterns and forms in the air. In contrast, the static
product of a drawing belies the intense physical activity of its creation
which, in its transcience of activity and the creation of its lines
and marks, mirrors dance. She explores the relationship between these
two art forms, creating movements and forms in drawing that parallel
those of dance. The feelings, aesthetic qualities and percussive syncopation
of an original dance form become expressed by or transposed into the
elements of animation film-making where the creation of the "moving
picture" is rooted in the language of dance.
