Words are an incredible form of art. Combined with an
artistic fluid animated imaginative mind and they can change the world. My
family was nomadic – we started as a military family. We moved and moved. It is
what you do. And every time you move, you tell “Your story”.
Certainly you could make up a story. But then it gets
tricky, because you have to remember what you’ve said. So it is smart to stick with
the facts.
At first you tell the story- embellishing all the glorious
facts. I taught swimming- taught sailing- I worked at newspapers and
advertising agencies. Oh the places I have seen. I spin the thread and weave a
glorious tapestry for you to hang upon your wall and admire.
As time goes on, I have stopped telling my story. I even
tire of my own words. The tapestry goes from wall hanging to floor mat.
All day yesterday Margaret and I played with words and how
powerful the images are.
The first animation were figures, line shapes walking around
with words swirling and moving around inside of them. Every time they spoke
“their story” the words came from their mouth and left the inside of them. The
capacity of words lowered. Like a fluid that becomes less and less.
As the day progressed we spoke about how some words are the
balls and chain wrapped around the victim's feet. Every time they speak their:
“Poor woe is me” story- the ball and chain become bigger.
Then Margaret came up with the best animation idea. When a
person speaks from love- from the heart- the words come from the mouth and give
them wings.
