La Lechuza from Mexican folklore is a witch who turns into a giant owl at night and preys on humans. She whistles or mimics the cry of a baby to lure her victims, then swoops down from the sky to carry them to her nest and eat them. She is also said to prey on emotions, waiting for her victims outside their home during domestic disputes. The Owl Witch was once a woman, whose child was killed by a drunk man. In other variations of the legend the woman herself was murdered by villagers who accused her of practicing witchcraft. She returned from her grave and since then has been seeking revenge. Others believe she sold her soul to the devil in exchange for magic powers. In my version of La Lechuza I aim to capture her side of the story, the woman‘s sorrow and pain beyond the surface of the scary shapeshifting witch. She is currently part of the group show “Haunted“ @curioartgallery . Many thanks to Björn Ullrich for the lighting of this little stop motion animation!

You still have the chance to see the traveling exhibition @dekraak at Landesmuseum @natur_und_mensch in Oldenburg until January 5th 🧜‍♂️ „Can you love a sea monster? Dive into an enchanting world, filled with stories. The Kraken, a mythical giant octopus will show the way. He will demonstrate how humans have always tried to live together with the sea’s wild nature. The Kraken will show how things can go terribly wrong, but also what beautiful things can come from it.“ More info at www.spinbarg.nl The exhibition features ten animated short films by different artists in an extraordinary installation. I had the pleasure to create a film about the Frisian folktale of merman Ekke Nekkepenn with sound design by Michal Krajczok. . . . . . . . #ekkenekkepenn #märchen #sagenundlegenden #kunstinoldenburg #märchenfilm #märchenillustration #darkfolktales #folktale #folktaleillustration #animation #kidlitart #mythicalseacreature #folkloreart #folktaleweek #mythandmagic #fabelwesen

HI and welcome to Anne who is an artist and visual storyteller working in a variety of mediums such as sculpture, puppets, animation and staged photography. Her work is inspired by her passion for nature, folktales and mythology, woven together with the absurdities of human behaviour in everyday life. With the help of clay, paper, textiles, wire, wood and found treasures she brings the creatures that live inside her head out into the world.  In addition to her personal art practice she creates puppets, illustrations and animations for film, tv, musicians and museums, and teaches workshops on puppet making. She currently lives in Germany on a small island in the North Sea. To see more of Anne’s amazing work follow her here at @annebreymann #humaningenuity #hifromahuman #humancreativity #artist #visualstoryteller

Work in progress. Swipe to see who inspired me… . . . . . . . #sculpture #seal #sealsculpture #selkie #dollmaker
