Born a century ago, Norman McLaren was one of Canada’s pioneering animators of early experimental abstract films. It is in the celebration of McLaren that this workshop takes its departure, inviting participants to join artist Emmy Willis in creating a series of animated abstract films. Using stop-motion techniques, Willis will set up an animation stand in the Gallery and a live visual display of works in progress. Working intimately with tactile materials, inanimate objects will be given life through motion.

Emmy Isabel Willis is a multi-disciplinary artist and graduate from Emily Carr University of Art & Design. With a background in video, animation, and community-oriented projects, Willis is an advocate for an interdisciplinary approach to artistic practice. Most recent work explores animation in the context of independent production and rejects industry influences towards commercial standards.
