Raychill Winterton

Jodie Mack
YARD WORK IS HARD WORK is the simplest kind of wonderful. ...It's a half-hour that's worth more than a half-dozen features. But maybe the most exciting thing about it is that it leaves you eagerly anticipating the next Jodie Mack film. - Ignatius Vishnevetsky, CINE-FILE: Chicago Guide to Alternative Cinema.
ExTV is proud to present a solo exhibition of Chicago-based filmmaker, teacher and curator Jodie Mack, known for her colorful cut-out, stop-motion and hand-painted animations that re-use the imagery and patterns of contemporary craft, and dissect themes of domesticity, feminine ritual, and personal history. Mack's abstract animations are like carefully choreographed synchronized swimming exercises where shapes intertwine and break free of each other in a flirtatious dance. Mack is an alum of SAIC's FVNM graduate department. Check out our blog to read an interview with Mack!
