Montagna Mia - Our Animation.
We wanted to show the journey of Ann Swynnertons painting “Montagna Mia” (My Mountain) in an experimental, immersive, and playful format, by using our combined skills of ceramics, illustration and animation. We decided to represent the timeline up to when Ann painted Montagna Mia by 6 ceramic mountains alongside paper cuts, which we then projected onto to portray each event/theme. The projections were a mixture of illustrations, film, photography and textures.
Our collective pieces were based on a variety of research from Manchester Art Gallery, Special Collections, and The Pankhurst Centre. Our outcomes consist of an animation, live projected set, a ceramic pot, and book. All linking and showing our concept in different forms. Overall with the aim to celebrate a small snippet of the progression and development of Manchester’s womens movement.
