"It’s never based on metaphor, but it’s more about metonymy," artist, filmmaker and educator Karen Yasinsky says about the relationship between found footage and animations in her film vera (2018). The suburban kitchen, a conventional domestic setting of the 1960s and 70s, is made strange by Yasinsky’s zany mode. Together we consider the creation of miniature worlds, the jittery motion of her hand-drawn lines and a trust between humans and animals based on touch rather than verbal communication.
