Curving Tooth - "Thank You"
Music video for my project Curving Tooth (duo with Liz Downing). Shot and edited in northeast Baltimore by Curving Tooth and Garrett Stralnic.
The song "Thank You" was written by Liz in the mid 1980s about everything having a spirit and a time to shine, now fittingly reimagined in 2023. The video is an ode to household objects with a psychedelic twist, culminating in a graveyard kitchen scenario.
