About:
In Consuming Spirits (Part 1), Chris Sullivan merges styles, techniques, and stories
in an episodic narrative that explores the artist's childhood experiences in Pittsburgh with his family's
Catholicism, alcoholism, and "apparent dysfunction." Sullivan uses three differently animated visual worlds
to denote past, present, and the intermingling of past and present. Through visuals and a soundtrack that
juxtaposes silence, dialogue, and bits of talk-radio monologues, viewers are lulled into the cadences and
rhythms of the familiar while concurrently reminded of the dangers lying just under the surface.
Sullivan, who does hand-drawn cell animations using thousands of drawings, says his films "are more moving
drawings than dimensional spaces [and] often deal with the family as social unit, a social unit that is the
real microcosmic reality that we wrestle with on a daily basis."
A recent recipient of both a Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundation fellowship, Sullivan was a featured artist
at last year's Flaherty Film Seminar. His work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and as
part of the Whitney Biennial program.
