"Windows of Whimsy” explores the interplay between reality and imagination by compositing fantastical, animated creatures into live-action footage. Using the buildings structure as an active participant in the narrative, a one eyed snake breaks through the windows initiating a psychedelic journey where we encounter the shape-shifting fish of the fjords, UFO’s, and elves cooling-off on a hot summer day. This piece reminds us that our imagination is the only limit to what’s through the next window. Produced by RW Media.

This is a reminder to trust yourself. We are filled with biological, cosmic, and spiritual connections that guide us to our purpose and desires – but only if we are willing to open up and listen.

I paint what I see. And I see what I paint. (And sometimes this happens at the same time.) Produced by RW Media.

A tribute to life's smallest heroes, Legacy reveals the beauty of often overlooked organisms that are essential to the health and future of our planet. These unsung guardians play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystems, ensuring food security and stabilizing our climate. By blending art and science, using centuries-old illustrations, the film honours these indispensable species - many of which are threatened with extinction - while inspiring both awe and urgency. Legacy is a celebration of nature's delicate balance and a call to preserve its fragile beauty for future generations. Produced by RW Media.

Inspired by Hayley’s relationship with her daughter, she wanted to create a stop-motion animated exploration of motherhood, reflecting the interconnectedness and transformation between mother and child. The malleability of clay serves as a metaphor for both Hayley’s shaping into a new person through the experience and her child’s constant growth. Designed to be cyclical, Rowan invites the viewer to engage at any point, echoing the continuous flow of this relationship. The monumental love of motherhood and its enduring presence are at the heart of the work, while the building’s unique contours accentuate both the intimate and expansive qualities of this bond. Produced by RW Media.

In decadent Paris, a young man tries to survive by selling drugs. We follow him through a typical day of deliveries and coffee breaks. Hunted, he is eventually found by a mysterious organization. Music from MAD REY.

"Who made you late for work today? Who gave the lottery away? Who makes you want to count each breath, with each tick-tock, a second closer to death? I'm the Timecrow, and I'm here to set the clocks (on fire)." - The Timecrow We have always been fascinated by the futile human attempt to quantify something as difficult to pin down as time, and jumped at the opportunity to let our clock-headed mascot The Timecrow peep out of the Daniels & Fisher Tower. Produced by RW Media.

A moment of curiosity slipped through the cracks once we let our guard down. We dared to dream for a moment, dared to dance and sleep, and climb the ladder that leads towards the clouds. Produced by RW Media.

"Resonance" is a story of how we connect with the world and each other in meaningful ways, told through the dance of light and the visual essence of vibration, attraction, and sound.

"Working Drawing" examines the medium of drawing as the primary document by which architects communicate construction information. But what happens if an architect begins to produce different kinds of drawings to communicate more than just the organizational rationales of construction? Where does beauty live in the architect's drawing, and how is it communicated before the building is built? Looking at line drawings, impressionist paintings and mosaic collages, "Working Drawing" imagines which personas that Denver's Kittredge Building could adopt relative to different possible forms of architectural practice.

Inspiration came when Senior Artist Alex Riczko read an article about mycelium found on asteroids, and how there is a chance mushrooms effectively came from space. That inspired the visual of bioluminescent mycelium, producing energy so dense and powerful that it has the ability to form portals to other dimensions.
