On October 25th 2019 Filmmaker and collaborator Emilie Upczak and I received the INSITE Grant from RedLine Contemporary Art Center and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Our project is to create a video installation that will visually explore human industry, expansion, movement, and boundaries, as well as public and private land, wildlife, and wildlife crossing corridors in north Denver.

This show (below) is a collaborative effort between six artists. Each artist was asked to interpret the meaning of The Controlled Wild and what the paradoxical title means to them. How they will interpret it, and how the artists works is in conversation with each other will be on display at the gallery at GRACe, in Globeville, north Denver.
