Attic by Jill Summers and Susie Kirkwood

A still house dreams of playmates with fraught invitations.

Stop motion animation by Jill Summers and Susie Kirkwood.

Created for an art installation in the attic of the Ragdale House in Lake Forest, Il.

Susie Kirkwood and Jill Summers are sisters who live and work in Chicago. Susie is a freelance graphic designer who is keeping busy remote schooling her kindergartener. Jill is a mom and full-time Girl Friday with a background in music and book arts. They are interested in ghosts, in the unseen lives of places and objects, and most recently, in finding the space, the time, and the will to do creative work.
