đWhen my sister Marita and I were young girls we formed a snail club, I was thinking about this while I was making this animation, along with that summer feeling of share-house parties and not being bothered by the aftermath because everyone had such a good time…even the snails đ â¤ď¸đ đśđ

The Orbweavers wrote this beautiful and haunting song about the Radium Girls, and I created this animation for it. Radium Girls is from The Orbweaver’s second album Deep Leads, out on Mistletone Records.
To quote from The Orbweavers’ facebook page: “Today we release the video for Radium Girls, directed and created by Marita’s sister Lucy Dyson, artist, animator and music video director based in Berlin. We told her the story of girls working in the radium dial painting factories, and she came up with this moving response.”
‘Soaking Cherries’ is the first single from Liam Linley’s debut EP ‘In the Course of Love’. Here’s an animation I made for it!
I recently had the pleasure of working with and being profiled on VOGUE Germany, alongside some brilliant Berlin women for this excellent project.
“Gender Revolution” features videos and interviews with the wonderful Laetitia Duveau of Curated by GIRLS, Lyra Pramuk, Hengameh Yaghoobifarah, and EylĂźl Aslan.
I created a collage-animation GIF for each woman profiled, using portrait photographs by EylĂźl Aslan and footage from the videos. The GIFs featured on Vogue Germany’s website, instagram and facebook page.
Many thanks to Vogue Germany, Nike Germany and Glutamat Kommunikation.
Here is an animation I recently made for London based jazz exotica trio Les Hommes.
“Queen Fez” was nominated in the “Best Experimental” category of the 2017 Berlin Music Video Awards.
Rory More of Les Hommes describes the song as âa heady dose of gritty oganatronic mondorama with touches of Shearing-meets-Monk on a pub piano.â The song was recorded live at Bark Studio and will be available from April 7th on their new LP âThe Sinnerâ
I really loved creating this weird-world eggimation, especially the pool party and keyboard scallop scenes…and the mini golf egghead scene, and the flippity-floppity fish dish…it has it all. Thanks for the inspiration Queen Fez and Les Hommes!
Music video I animated and directed for the song “Don’t Look Back” by Urbanity (Albare and Phil Turcio).
I was commissioned to create animated content for BeyoncĂŠâs Formation World Tour. My work screened on the 20 x 20 metre video monolith during the performance of her song Countdown, the animation was a collage of footage from her music videos and Lemonade visual album content.
For the first month of the tour the animation filled the entire screen, I then created revisions turning the animation into a moving border, framing the live footage of her on stage projected back onto the monolith. I attended the concert in Frankfurt am Main, it was incredible and completely surreal to see my work displayed at this scale, and Queen Bey performing in front of it.
Here are some photos of my work from the very first concert of the tour taken by Bryan Kwak, Apr 27, 2016, Marlins Park, Miami, Florida.
In 2008 I made an animated music video for the song âPersistâ by the Melbourne band All India Radio, the animation was based on the story of Topsy the Coney Island elephant electrocuted by Thomas Edison. My sister Marita provided illustrations and Isobel Knowles assisted me with the animating. The first time I watched the animation with an audience (at a music video program during the Melbourne International Film Festival), claps and cheers followed at the end of every video screened, however “Persist” was met silence so awkward I wanted to fall through the floor. Fast forward 7 years…
Last November I was in NYC for the opening of the exhibition “Coney Island: Visions of an American Dreamland 1861 – 2008” at Brookly Museum, “Persist” had been curated in the exhibition, along with works by Diane Arbus, Walker Evans, and Joseph Stella.
The animation was displayed on a screen, on a loop with the original and very graphic film by Thomas Edison âElectrocution of Topsyâ, as a key part of the section that told the story of Topsy and her life at Coney Island. It was an honour to be part of the exhibition, and it was also wonderful to meet the curators from The Wadsworth Atheneum who had originally conceived of the exhibition and to hear how they came across my animated tribute to Topsy online.
The exhibition toured nationally showing at The Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford CT, San Diego Museum of Art (July 11, 2015 â October 13, 2015) and McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas, (May 11, 2016 â September 11 2016).
From April 2017 Persist will be included in an adapted version of the exhibition that over the next five years will travel to venues in underserved communities in the US.
A fully-illustrated, beautiful  304-page catalogue of the exhibition was published by Yale University Press, here is the write-up on my animation from its pages…
