“Stephen and Timothy see their job as coaxing the latent stories out of discarded, overlooked, and long-forgotten objects,” said David Spolum, a lecturer at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia who teaches a course on the Quays. “They believe static things have inner lives and want to be worshiped as gods.”

Thank you so much for reminding me about these films, and for the background information. I used to see them sometimes on the Austin access channels late at night. I’d completely forgotten about them. I never knew anything about who made them, they just seemed to appear out of nowhere, out of the night. Or out of my messed-up, sleepy mind, like the films of the cats and dogs dressed like people.
