Justin Zielke: the Sculpting Animator | Dreamers&Makers

Justin Zielke has clay on his hands. The sculptor and digital conjuror, who has created videos for musicians as diverse as Joy Oladokun and Dave Matthews, is a daily devotee of malleable minerals and a keen observer of the human form. "The body is a point of interest to me," he says. "You add your own emotion to who this person is." Featured in the SCAD Dreamers and Makers docuseries, the Alumni Atelier ambassador created site-specific work for the SCAD Lacoste Promenade de Sculptures in 2022. As SCAD MOA curator Ben Tollefson observes: "From a large-scale bronze sculpture to a cutting-edge stop-motion music video, Justin creates moving reflections on who we are as human beings."
