The Seed Cast is pleased to welcome animator and artist Andrew Benincasa to the show. Currently based in Brooklyn, NY, Andrew has been featured on NPR’s First Look, On the Media, HarvardX, and Alain de Botton’s School of Life. He has also attended residencies at Yaddo, St. Anne’s Warehouse, the Orchard Project, TAC, and Holes in the Wall Collective. In this episode we tackle a lot of topics concerning fantasy, mythology, allegory, and individual interpretations of such. Andrew shares how a need to communicate sparked his art, how he believes the world is ready for new stories and myths to take place of historical and religious authorities, and how the element of time and the live artist not only emphasize the importance of story, but the drive to tell it. You can check out his work at http://www.andrewbenincasa.com/ and follow him on instagram @andrewbenincasa.
Andrew’s artist picks: Käthe Kollwitz, Leo and Diane Dillon, and Ursula Le Guin.
