Three Fragments of a Lost Tale from John Frame on Vimeo.

In March, the Huntington Library in Pasadena opened an exhibition of the sculpture and animation of John Frame. His work is haunting, beautiful, and dreamlike, which makes perfect sense since this latest project came from a dream. I've included three videos in the post - first, the animated film "Three Fragments of a Lost Tale", second, a video of the making of the sculptures and animation (filmed by Johnny Coffeen), and third a story by Southern California Public Radio which includes images from the exhibition. Enjoy!

Thank you for picking up the audio slideshow I produced for SCPR. I am in awe of John Frame's work and could spend a lifetime experiencing the world he has created. I recommend it to everyone of all ages and backgrounds.
