RANDOM MOTION: Animated Flipbooks by Ruth Hayes

Flipbooks are animated sequences you can hold in your hand.		"TV DINNER"		The flipbook that asks: Who's the real consumer?
Flipbooks are animated sequences you can hold in your hand.

The fourth deadly sin
comes languidly
to life

"SLOTH"

   They are four dimensional
     and highly interactive.

    You, the viewers, have control.
   Flip forward or backward.

  Look at them over & over again.

Study each image to analyze motion,
catch subtleties in the drawings,

or read words
embedded in the animation.

"BIRTHRITE"

Every child's divine birth,
animated from the mother's
point of view

Ruth Hayes has been publishing her own versions of this
19th Century animation toy since 1979.

An ebullient spirit
heads towards the light.

"FLIPBOOK OF THE DEAD"

Motion study
of a cat in heat.

"ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE
My Cat's in Heat and I'm Thinking of You"

But these toys-
sometimes whimsical,
at other times, downright radical
-are not designed for children!

"The major dialogue in Hayes' work
is between the body and those
who would like to repress it"

- Karen Rosenberg,
The Women's Review of Books

"LEASH LAW"

What separates
man from animal?

Motion study
of a tongue.

"HOT LICKS"

    From unabashed sensuality
   to socio-political criticism,
   Ruth Hayes' flipbooks
   deliver a delightfully visceral,
animated punch.

"THE FLIPBOOK
OF REVELATIONS"
A tele-evangelist reveals
the bare bones
of his faith

A general's delusions
get the better of him.
