FILM: As ROOT 1066 artists in residence we produced this stop-frame animation inspired by the historical and visual elements of the Bayeux Tapestry and the ROOT 1066 festival itself. In the spirit of the collaborative nature of the festival we engaged with other ROOT 1066 artists’ projects to inform parts of the animation, and experimented with new ways of responding to the work of other artists.
