Lynn Tomlinson

Lynn Tomlinson is an internationally acclaimed animator based in Baltimore, Maryland. Her current work explores environmental themes, often imagining how non-human beings might view humanity's impact. Her films have screened at venues including the Museum of Modern Art, The National Gallery (USA), The Pompidou Center, and at international film festivals including Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, and Ottawa International Animation Festival. She is Associate Professor of Electronic Media and Film at Towson University (USA).

During her residency, Lynn Tomlinson will draw inspiration from the natural setting on the Italian coast to animate cyclical sequences for an ecological media artwork using colorful transforming visual imagery, music, and poetic lyrics. Animated cycles will create a musical canon-like composition of scenes that loop and build, imagining non-human perspectives, and evoking ecological empathy.
