Animation using textiles

Wanting to say more than I could in the single image of a quilt, I developed animated film using textile cut-out pieces, dyed and stitched, rather like a complex fuzzy felt set. The process is illustrated at the end of "Housewife (By Your Side)"

The first film I made was "Housewife (By Your Side)" using a track from CocoRosie's excellent 2004 album "La Maison de mon Reve" (with kind permission from CocoRosie)
The film "Artist Mothers" was made using interviews with several artists who juggled making art with bringing up children.
"Searching For The Invisible Woman" was made as part of the same titled project looking at women's experience of the menopause and aging.
