Kelly Sears is an animator and filmmaker living in Houston, TX. She is a 2009-2010 fellow at the Core Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Her work has been shown at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, Anthology Film Archives, Sundance and in galleries and film festivals internationally. 



Sears’ collage animations are created from collected and discarded periodicals, books, and encyclopedias. These pictures, culled from the last 100 years of popular American imagery, offer a way to visually and critically reflect on our own history to uncover the ideological foundations that we live with today. Sears aims to harness visual and narrative authorship as a way to actively intersect with the transcription of history and the imagining of different stories.
