Todd Fuller Adrift 2012 mixed media animation, 5’54”, animation stills 32 Fine Arts 2012-2013
Adrift I was always dissatisfied by the static nature of drawing. In my head my characters were alive but when channelled through the hands and forged onto the page, my imaginings could never be truly realised. With this in mind, animation was the logical next step. Through drawing, documenting and re drawing, I was able to breath life into the meandering of my subconscious. Starting with just a simple mark on a page, a camera, and no real plan or sense of direction, I layered marks one by one while photographing the process. With time, they collaborate to form a person, thing or a place and so begins a fierce negotiation with the drawing. This inevitably unfurls into an unplanned story. In the case of adrift (2012) the figure who emerged from the cacophony of lines quickly asserted himself to be autobiographical. He was an alter ego representing myself at that moment in time. He clutches his bag and quietly endures the world while dreaming of something better. A red balloon offers solace and thus like an evolving sketchbook the pages snap to life to offer him a new direction... Adrift Sono sempre stato insoddisfatto della natura statica del disegno. Nella mia testa, i miei personaggi erano vivi, ma una volta incanalate attraverso le mani e forgiati sulla pagina, le mie immaginazioni non potevano mai esser veramente realizzate. Con questo in mente, l'animazione è stato il logico passo successivo. Disegnando, documentando e ridisegnando, riuscivo a infondere vita nei meandri del mio subconscio. Partendo da un semplice segno su una pagina, una macchina fotografica, e nessun reale progetto o senso di orientamento, ho stratificato segni uno ad uno, mentre fotografavo il processo. Col tempo, i segni collaborano a formare una persona, cosa o luogo, e inizia così un feroce negoziato col disegno. Questo inevitabilmente si dispiega in una storia non pianificata. Nel caso di adrift (2012), la figura emersa dalla cacofonia di linee si è imposta rapidamente come autobiografica. Era un alter ego che rappresenta me in quel momento nel tempo. Stringe la borsa e sopporta in silenzio il mondo, mentre sogna qualcosa di meglio. Un palloncino rosso offre conforto e così, come un album di schizzi in evoluzione, le pagine prendono vita per offrirgli una direzione nuova... 33
