Still from the The Ballad of Holland Island House, 2014
Clay on glass animation
Running time 4 minutes, 19 seconds
The true story of the last house on a Chesapeake Bay island slowly sinking into the rising seas comes to life through fluidly transforming animated clay-on-glass paintings. The house sings of its life and the creatures it has sheltered, while contemplating the passage of time and environmental change.
