The House Monkey is the first of this series of animations. Very much inspired by Jan Svankmajer, it features a porcelain monkey being chased by fruit and various domestic objects of a masculine nature, while itself chasing a beautiful ukulele playing, female shot glass. Sexual frustration, fear of competition, unatainable goals and a sense of social incompetence are all explored. The Flax of Reverie, an animation that I made in collaboration with Daniel O' Sullivan for Mothlite's debut album release on Southern records Buildings, a playful sound animation that I made by manipulating photographs of various buildings around the world. Untitled (working title Skull and Poppies). Using some of the imagery from The Flax of Reverie animation, I made this moving image of a deer skull being covered in poppies and then gradually being deconstructed. The movement responds to the arrthythmic inflection of the vocals recorded for The Silent Beef.
