Where the Shadow Falls
An animated silhouette video telling the story of Maggie Wylie Mellette's aspirations and unrealized dream of becoming an artist. It also acknowledges the unmet hopes and dreams of other female Wylie family members and many 19th century women whose lives were limited by laws, cultural norms, and expectations.
