Iceblink, animation

This short film features music and editing by Ron Harrity. The imagery is collaged from proof prints I made during my artist’s book edition, Iceblink, published in 2019.

Through the artist’s book, I was interested in examining popular views of Arctic regions in depression-era United States through evocative imagery culled from one explorer’s personal papers. But I was also interested in playing with the mechanics of storytelling to find experimental narrative forms. I am excited about how this translation of that project injects tension, emotion, and action in new ways. I look forward to using sound and animation in conjunction with more printmaking and book projects in the future.
