Sophie's Place

A culmination of five years’ work. Full hand-painted cut-out animation. Totally unplanned, unrehearsed development of scenes under the camera, yet with more “continuity” than any of my previous animations, while meditating on some phase of my life. I call it an “alchemical autobiography.” The film begins in a paradisiacal garden. It then proceeds to the interior of the Mosque of St. Sophia. More and more the film develops into episodes centering around one form or another of Sophia, an early Greek and Gnostic embodiment of spiritual wisdom. She is seen emanating light waves and symbolic objects.
