Also taking top spots were dives into analogue rabbit holes, like Gaia Alari's stop motion animations and illustrations, and Nata Metlukh's physical explorations of how far traditional materials can take you. It's easy to see that we're starting to come back to what we can touch - Adrian Hanft's animations using old receipts are case in point."
