Transition sequence for a dream or fight

Overview

Sonya Lacey’s silent stop-frame animation, constructed from acid-etched copper plates, cites the cloud-like formation of scene changes used in historical animated productions. 'Transition sequence for a dream or fight' revels in this visual device that prevents us from seeing, while proposing the ongoing unknown as a hospitable, generative state." – Erin Robideaux Gleeson, curator, Leap to the Place of Two Pools, Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery.
