The InkLine Project

Animations by artist Jackie Reeves paired with words by Lauren Wolk and music by various composers. The films explore what it means to persist in an increasingly precarious world. Raw and unfiltered, these pieces reflect the struggle to remain creative, truthful, and whole while facing personal and societal pressures.

Though distinct, the films share a commitment to spontaneity and honest expression. They are visceral responses to both the inner muse and external forces—what it means to be a woman, an artist, an American, a human being at a time when freedoms are eroding and fascism is on the rise. Together, they offer a cohesive vision: a call to resist, to tell the truth, and to insist on creativity as an act of survival.

The project began when artist Jackie Reeves created an unscripted, one-minute animation, to which writer Lauren Wolk responded with an extemporaneous poem and music. The immediacy of this process and the authenticity of the work were so compelling that they launched The InkLine Project,

They hope it inspires others to raise their own voices and speak their own truths.
