“Artists often pay a big price for their autonomy...No health insurance, no retirement, often no financial reward. But I like to pretend that I am a cog in the real world, no more or less important than a good carpenter, or an honest politician. That attitude makes me get up in the morning and go to work in the studio.”

    Suzan Pitt’s landmark work of surrealist animation found cult fame when it was coupled in midnight screenings with David Lynch’s Eraserhead. Pulling back the red curtain on the mysterious depths of our subconscious, it matches the weirdness of the Lynchian imaginary, spermatozoal squiggles and all.
