Edge of Frame presents a programme of animated films by Karen Yasinsky.
Karen Yasinsky is a Baltimore-based artist working primarily with animation and drawing. Moving from painting into animation in the late 1990s, her early films feature stop-motion puppets inhabiting strange, drifting zones of reverie, hovering on the verge of something unsettling and unknowable. As her films develop into exquisite drawn animation and more sophisticated stop-motion, they increasingly refer to scenes or moments from certain canonical films, such as The Wizard of Oz, Bresson’s Au Hazard Balthazar and Jean Vigo’s L’Atalante.
