There Come Thru the Woodlings from Betsy Dadd 

This artist uses a variety of mediums to achieve moving image. This film particularly, features dry materials.

She states:

“I think of animation as durational painting – it may stand still, barely moving for a given period of time but it also has the ability to perform. With this in mind, I have been exploring animated stillness. I find subtle movement draws one to look closer. And as a counterpoint to action, minimal movement and slow motion suspend time and create quietude. As Alain Badiou put it, 'It is a matter of constructing a time for thought that is slow and leisurely, for what makes our world is speed.'

My animation practice has grown out of experimentation and rigorous drawing activity - the materials and process being intrinsic to the work. I use the physical drawing as the surface for projection to create an image which is static and in constant flux, both tangible and digital. Like this, I find ways to present my animations as installations, objects or environments. I hope to address the different viewing conditions of both the gallery and the cinema.

My recent animations have explored particular locations and their conditions, around which I take the viewer on a journey. I document landscapes that are undergoing change, using drawings and field recordings as a starting point.”

As Saint George continues to defeat the dragon and England continues to change, the play questions if England is starting to let…
