Vimeo and talking houses by Chris Rackley....

I am so excited to share that my art friend Chris Rackley spent a good portion of the pandemic creating the brilliant piece Haiku House with a grant from Springboard for the Arts. He invited the homeowners in his neighborhood to create house puppets based on his pattern and write a Haiku for the puppets to perform while filming it. He then took all the videos and seamlessly created an animated neighborhood where every house shared its poem! Please take a look at Haiku House Project on Vimeo and share your favorite parts! My favorites are the clouds and clogged toilet haiku. You can see all about his process on instagram…he is a magician with the digital!
