There is always something wonderfully exciting about the serendipity of the Internet. Whilst looking for pictures of Jayne Mansfield, I happened across Jennifer Linton’s blog (Lady Lazarus: dying is an art. Musings on the macabre), which in turn led me to her fabulous artwork and these beautifully surreal stop-frame animations, Domestikia.

Linton describes herself as “an interdisciplinary visual artist working with new media, animation, drawing and printmaking.” She has exhibited her artworks in the America, Italy, and across Canada, and says Domestikia is:

A tale of love, betrayal and one vengeful butterfly. This project was inspired by the surreal animations of Lenica, Borowyck and Svankmajer, Japanese tentacle erotica, and those strange, middle-of-the-night dreams one has after spicy food.

Certainly dreamlike, these animations cling long after viewing. Check out Jennifer Linton’s fantastic artworks here. They might not all be “safe for work,” as they say…
