Molly Schwartz

MOLLY SCHWARTZ is creating Watershed, a trio of short animated videos that will reference the terrain, history and delicate ecology of the Tampa Bay watershed. Each animation takes place within a strata, or level of a re-imagined watershed. The Watershed triplet comes together to describe a world of atmosphere, light and living beings, traversing the screen. The individual videos will each standalone but when seen in succession will contribute to a larger story about the Tampa Bay waterfront.

Molly Schwartz' animations will be featured on the Portal. The Portal is a digital gateway through the arts. Located on the Riverwalk, it provides an ever-changing and engaging platform for cultural and educational opportunities. Content on the Portal is expansive; in addition to commissioned artwork, a wide net is cast to include content from archival sources, scholars, health and environmental specialists. In addition to Schwartz, artists Juliet Davis & Stephanie Tripp and Eva Lee were commissioned to create new work for the Portal.
