From morphing sequence.How I just now am finding the amazing and moving work of artist Lou Trigg baffles me. Her sewn drawings and the often resulting animation films are gorgeous in there narrative, emotion, vulnerability and hand. All the work stands entirely well on its own and when combined make a heart lurching piece of work.
From she always felt invisible.Lou describes her work :
My original idea for the invisible woman was to investigate the internal and external reality of the invisibility of 'women of a certain age'. The pressures on women in their 50's to appear younger and to deny their real age is enormous. In the media we rarely see what a normal, natural woman looks like; we are bombarded with the likes of '10 years younger' and celebrities pretending that their expressionless faces are down to genetics, lots of water and whatever moisturizers they are flogging to an ever increasing gullible audience, usually of the baby boomer variety. However, my MA Sequential Design project, which was to be the voice of the invisible woman, became the sounding board for a narrative concerning my own personal history of always feeling invisible, recreated by sewn works (stitchures) which have become a film and a book.. ...see further work about those of us who dare to show that we have smiled, cried and frowned occasionally.
Watch her incredibly beautiful film made from these sewn works here.
From Tragic Women- Judy in Love.I am moved and inspired by Lou's work and cannot wait to continue to see what her work does next. Truly beautiful.
