MATERIAL WORLDS is an ongoing series at Evergreen where contemporary video artists and experimental animators discuss their relationship to tools, technology, and the history of art.
Utilizing the universal tools of graphite and paper as a base, Amanda Bonaiuto draws and redraws sequences of flora and fauna in powerful clusters that punctuate short films, music videos, and documentaries. She’s made videos for popular touring bands like Rubblebucket and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. She’s screened her morphing hand-drawn stories at festivals across the globe, such as Annecy and Ottawa. She was nominated for an Oscar after collaborating with the production team of the hilarious short film My Year of Dicks, and currently Amanda shares her curiosity and her rhythmic approach to animation with her students at Parsons School of Design in New York.
