I Started Early

Duration: 2:06

“I started Early — Took my Dog” uses animation to illustrate Emily Dickinson’s poem In which she writes about the changing nature of the sea, Dickinson’s poem explores themes of escape and the depths of the self. The graphic style suggests the industrial age and the rigid style of clothing women wore then.
