Since 1976,&amp;nbsp;Karen&amp;nbsp;created animated films exploring the themes of ritual, journeys, transformation, and the human&amp;nbsp;spirit. Much of her work reflects an interest in symbols, mythology, and prehistoric and tribal cultures, and includes&amp;nbsp;elements of rhythm, dance, and music. Karen's award-winning films have been screened nationally and internationally, at film festivals, museums, and universities.&amp;nbsp;Aqua&amp;rsquo;s animation appears regularly on Sesame Street. Just before her death, Karen completed her final work Taxonomy which premiered at the Institute of Contemporary Art in&amp;nbsp;Boston.&amp;nbsp; Spoiler Alert Radio http://spoileralertradio.libsyn.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/1665263/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/3469922
