Statement:
As part of Month of Video, three artists/collectives are presenting short video works on public LED screens throughout downtown Denver. These silent, 15-second animations appear periodically on screens that usually show advertisements or announcements—offering a brief but intentional moment of visual art in an everyday setting.
Keep an eye out as you move through the city—you might catch one while waiting at a crosswalk or riding the bus.

Price of Glory is a playful piece dedicated to the almighty hot dog. The hot dog represents the inner child of the artist. It represents simple pleasures and simple times. The hot dog no matter how you dress it up, will always be a hot dog. It will survive the recession and the apocalypse. It is a hot dog on a pedestal. It is magical. It is magnificent. Long live the hot dog.

roses soft is about memory. It is about having a companion to guide you through each frame of a forgotten event. The animation is based on a memory of an imaginary garden where a woman sat and planted roses. The garden was massive and full of red petals and green leaves. It was a mirage of a faceless figure that I have held onto. Shrouded in light the garden replaces a dark and ominous period of loneliness and helplessness. The animation is black and white to represent how we perceive memories as whole truths, but they are only pieces of a story.
