I first saw Luca Dipierro’s work in an animation he’d made for a book of short stories by Dawn Raffel. It was a stop motion video based on a story in which a young woman and her father try to find their car in a parking lot one night in winter. The wind off the lake is [...]

Big Other’s Birthday Tribute to William Gass
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Big Other, Birthday tribute, Daniel Green, John Madera, Luca Dipierro, Malcolm Sutton, Michael Leong, William Gass on July 30, 2011 | 23 Comments »

But it’s [...]
