Glitter for Girls is a
handmade tattoo film that utilizes a camera-less direct-on-film animation
approach to collage multiple layers of water tattoos (commonly used by
children.) Foglia, known for her tactile work on celluloid, this time
intervenes on the 16mm polyester base of recycled film scraps and treats the
water based tattoos as film emulsion - creating an abstract animation inspired
by the playful legacy of Evelyn Lambart and Norman McLaren.
