Film Description:
"Allyson Mitchell is a maximalist artist working predominantly in sculpture, installation and film. Since 1997, Mitchell has been melding feminism and pop culture to play with contemporary ideas about sexuality, autobiography, and the body, largely through the use of reclaimed textile and abandoned craft. In 2009 Allyson Mitchell's sculptural installation Ladies Sasquatch was unleashed, both delighting and frightening viewers. This short documentary gives insightful interviews with Mitchell about the layered concepts behind her provocative work. The film weaves interviews with images of her exquisitely engaging sculptures to explore the interconnections between bodies, monsters, art and the hand-made."
