I shot this quick video over the last month or so while Paige has been building her MASSIVE geode for The Standard Hotel in Hollywood. I grabbed what I could, when I could. I think it does a good job of showing how much work this project is. We're doing an opening on thursday June 14th, 2012, so come on down if you're in LA. The piece will be up at The Standard for the next month so definitely check it out and enjoy the video!
