I hadn’t come across sculptor John Frame’s animated work before so my thanks to John Burridge<\/a> for the recommendation. Three Fragments of a Lost Tale<\/em><\/a> is part of a larger project, The Tale of The Crippled Boy<\/em>, which is described at Frame’s website<\/a>.

One quality of animation I’ve always enjoyed is its ability to convey the disjunctions and strange atmospheres of dream states, something it often does more effectively than anything else.<\/p>\n
