“The Tender Hand of the Unseen,” an immersive video installation that was featured on the Daniels and Fisher Tower in downtown Denver, was the work of Molly Valentine Dierks, a Department of Art and Art History assistant teaching professor who is also a sculptor, interdisciplinary artist and self-described “nature geek.”

The artwork—which was projected onto the 140-foot canvas of the building—mimics the movements of large flocks of starlings, which take flight at twilight to dance in undulating, ever-shifting shapes.

In describing the work, which was part of the Night Lights Denver program, Dierks wrote, “The work is my way of confronting a socially fractured landscape, where screens more frequently mediate our understanding of self … overshadowing more embodied connections to each other and the natural world.”
