Our heroine Madelaine sits reading in her parlor, when an unexpected visitor arrives. So begins the surreal narrative of La Petite Mort, a tale of love, betrayal, and one vengeful butterfly. Combining elements of erotica, horror, and dark humour, this film capitalizes on the stiff, artificial movement of paper puppets to create a strange, dream-like world. "La Petite Mort" was inspired by the Surrealist animations of the Polish and Czech masters Jan Lenica, Walerian Borowyck and Jan Svankmajer, Japanese tentacle erotica, and those strange, middle-of-the-night dreams one sometimes has after spicy food.

STATEMENT:

My animations employ paper cutouts and articulated paper puppets, photographed against flat, 2D backgrounds with the technique of stop-motion animation. Using paper cutouts, I strive to capitalize on their inherent anti-realism to produce films steeped in fantastic and dreamlike imagery. The technical limitations of paper puppets, with their characteristically stiff movements, make cutout animation particularly well suited to animations whose themes involve fantasy, surrealism, dreams, and that which otherwise lacks realism. Rather than being a hinderance, the anti-realism of the paper cutout serves to amplify the strangeness of the events that happen throughout.                                                                                      -Jennifer Linton

An artist's profile and behind-the-scenes look at my art practice. My animations are created using stop-motion combined with paper cutouts.

Trapeze artist. Fun with Dover Art books.

Getting a lot of mileage out of these old clip art books. Here’s some dancing elephants. You’re welcome.

My artistic resolution for 2016 is to experiment and play more in the studio. Quick, simple animations are fun and satisfying on a creative level. In this short snippet, I recycled a paper puppet from a previous stop-motion project and made some silly things happen. It wasn’t a big time commitment, and it’s good to loosen things up a bit.
