Jodie Mack is a Chicago-based artist working in various forms of cut-out and stop-motion animation. Her films combine traditional feminine crafts with rhythmic editing and obsessive nuance to create a radical domesticity that is new to the film world.
Mack received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and in 2008 was the recipient of an Illinois Arts Council Media Arts Fellowship. She works with young filmmakers and spends her free time making pop-up cards and coordinating screenings and film festivals.
Yard Work is Hard Work, Mack's 16mm experimental animation/romcom/musical, melds the techniques of pixilation and two-dimensional cut-out animation. The film premieres in Chicago this week — read our listing for more info.
