Summary:
In Mona Lisa descending a staircase, images of the human face are subtly transformed to communicate the graphic style and emotional content of key artworks, primarily of the 20th century, creating an animated history of art. Blends the worlds of fine art and animation into a compelling symphony of color and movement. Pro and con describes the prison experience from the viewpoints of the guards (Pro) and inmates (Con). The dowager's feast and The dowager's idyll are abstractions which flow into one another.
