In 2008, Shawn Stone wrote about musician-performance artist C. Ryder Cooley, whose work explores the dubious border between the human and animal realms, often blending the two in mythologies of hybrid creatures. Her latest project is called Animalia, "an ongoing series of lyrical performances," which was first translated to hand-drawn illustrations on the pages of a found book and has now been animated by artist Bart Woodstrup. You can view the "inter-species fairytale" above or at Vimeo.

Love this animation! Keep your eyes open for her newest work Ximalia (Animalia 2) premiering this spring as the next installment of the Animalia series! :)
