‘…American artist Jodie Mack has been described as "the most exciting experimental film-maker of her generation". She works mostly in the abstract animation field, often using textiles, magazine clippings and wrapping paper. And the end results - like the short film Curses below - are often stunning. Mack is completing her first feature length animated film The Grand Bizarre- The Pleasure of the textile. Jodie Mack's approach, her techniques and her end results are often reminiscent of another abstract experimenter - New Zealand's legendary Len Lye. So it's not surprising that she's been invited to the home of all things "Lye" - New Plymouth's Govett Brewster Gallery.
Govett-Brewster’s Projection Series surveys the landscape of historical and contemporary fine art filmmaking, encouraging our audiences to experience the wider world of local and international film and moving image.
