Description
Wrik Mead, Canada's prolific poet-priest and master of subversive pixilation, has assembled an impressive body of animated short films over a twenty-year career. Recognized for his play with texture, light and color, Mead weaves queer fantasies, parables and even documentary narratives into his films, while exploring the connections between stigmatization, shame and sexuality.
