Animation Mother

Meats Meier originally created his iconic "Animation Mother" character for the SIGGRAPH Computer Animation Festival, and also released her as a limited edition as part of the Gnomon Gallery series. In this fully 3D animated hologram viewers experience the transition from a nearly invisible Animation Mother at the extreme left viewing angle to a full-color floating figure when moving across the print. As she becomes visible, the tendrils of her hair, bodice, and skirt grow and unfurl into full form while her hands delicately conjure the teapot out of an orb (symbolic of the original 3D computer graphics modeling image), and all the while her piercing blue eyes calmly gaze at viewers.

"Animation Mother" by Meats Meier is available in two sizes: 14×20 inches (1600$US) //AND// 7×10 inches (400$US).
