Over the past number of years I have made a series of what I would call animation sketches. These are basically parts of an animation I would like at some stage pull together into one single film.A short animation based around the idea of matter and material coming together and breaking up again seemlessly.
.
I wanted music along the lines of Philip Glass ´ensamble´ to accompany the animated drawings.The animation portrays how for me certain objects became important signifiers or symbols in my life in a spiritual sense.The horse for example became a symbole of a spiritual and cyclical rebirth. I had found a toy lego horse in the back garden of my parents house shortly after my mother had died and several other experiences with horses grew in me this belief of a constant battle between life and death where the horse championed an elegant display of love and life.Other objects like my parents house also became symbols, like a stage where these scenarios were played out.
My older Dermot use to make these little Doctor who captions on my Dads ´tally rolls´ (receipt rolls from his bus conductiing machine).He would charge the brothers and sisters in to watch these series with adds and everything. So much went on this little house it made sense to me to show the animations inside and make a small model of the house pebbledashed and all.
These animations can be viewed through the website or through U tube search for Kenneth Lambert animations.
