Sarah E. Jenkins

An abstract, non-linear stop motion animation that explores ideas of extraction, labor, and disappearance via experimental animation processes.

Created by cutting up sequences from 35 and 70mm trailers and projecting them onto movable screens and walls of the studio. Our goal was to create a world that looks like 3D motion graphics without using 3D digital techniques.

Using the forest itself as a creative partner, artist Sarah Jenkins utilizes a similar palimpsest technique as León & Cociña to imbue their lines with a life their own. The piece was created on site at an artist residency in the post-industrial slate mining town of Corris, Wales. All audio was recorded on site and remixed in the studio. A portrait of sun dappled rocks and moss concealing edges unknown.
