When Edmund Skellings, the Poet Laureate of Florida, approached me about animating one of his poems during my second year in the Masters of Fine Art program at the Florida Center for Electronic Communication, I turned him down because I was in the midst of an animation project that would take up the rest of my time until my graduation. Yet upon getting hired to the faculty as a research associate at the Center after I had graduated, he spoke with me again about animating one of his poems as well as working on a DVD on teaching poetry through animation. Ed and I choose “Giverny” - an interesting choice considering that the poem had already been animated eight years before. This offered an intriguing experiment of how different artists could interpret and visualize the same poem in their own ways.
