Watch the brand new animation from artist and 2023 Adam Reynolds Award Winner James Lake, produced by Shape Arts and Hot Knife Digital Media with funding and support from Arts Council England and Garfield Weston Foundation.

The animation marks a significant progression in Lake’s artistic practice as well as the latest in a series of creative projects produced by Shape Arts and Hot Knife Digital Media. As part of the Adam Reynolds Award programme, which is designed to support the careers of disabled artists, Lake was awarded a £10k bursary alongside the opportunity to work on a major new creative project.

About Another Day:

Tucked away in the modern city are lonely lives, marked by dreary habits and routines, propped up by hopes, dreams, and fantasies. And sometimes art.

And what props up the artist but endless searching? Sifting through days and meals for the idea, the belief…the thing half-noticed, half-felt, half-recalled, until sometimes it comes. The spark, the moment when talent draws invisible engines into play. The moment when low goes high and even the dullest of materials may shine, and come forth.

Exploring the world of hand-modelled craft and sculpture through digital animation, this tender and uplifting film shines a light on the transformative nature of creativity through the eyes of a disabled man living at the edges of a world which threatens to entirely pass him by.
