Interlaced: Animation and Textiles explores the layered relationship between animation and textile art, tracing over a century of media from early cinema experiments to contemporary algorithmically generated images. Published to accompany the exhibition at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery | Len Lye Centre, the book features twenty-four artists who embroider with projected light, quilt celluloid films, and weave digital tapestries. Curator Alla Gadassik presents a textile genealogy of animation, connecting analogue and digital media, and situates the work of Len Lye within these global textile traditions. The book examines animated cloth as a technology of enchantment, the fabric of film and digital imaging, and the feminised labour sustaining these creative practices.
This beautifully produced edition combines a PUR bound structure with a durable PVC wrap dust jacket, creating a tactile, high-quality object. The book’s interior is carefully printed to showcase the richly detailed imagery, capturing both analogue and digital media textures. Its compact size and sturdy binding make it accessible while preserving a premium feel.
