'I like to see the material move and breathe and melt. I don't like things to stay static.' - Alison Schulnik


Alison Schulnik created this music video for the band 'Grizzly Bear' to accompany their song 'Ready Able'.  
The animation has an abstract narrative focusing on one yeti-type character whilst he travels through a bizarre world encountering unsettling mutant creatures. 
Schulnik has worked with clay to create a textured, melting effect suggesting mutation. The raw aesthetic of the piece has inspired me to experiment with texture using acrylic paints.

'It just felt right for the characters that they should not be so together. They're falling off their skeleton, they're falling off their own frame.' - Alison Schulnik
