Despite Margarito's healthy lifestyle, a sudden and serious brain bleed changed his life forever. After several surgeries he was alive, but unable to speak, see, walk, sit up, or feed himself. At Origmai, Margarito was able to make progress—starting with the small things, like brushing his teeth. Today he is running and playing guitar, just like he used to! Margarito's Story was awarded both a Silver Addy and a Judge's Choice this year at AAF Lansing's Addy Awards.

When an artist launches a new show at a gallery, there is always a written statement that anchors the theme of the show. In the case of “Throughlines: David Such,” Nelson Gallery wanted the collection to come to life and connect to the audience. What better way than video to capture the essence of the artist’s statement? By hearing directly from the artist and glimpsing his studio and process, the viewer is able to gain a deeper understanding of the art. “Throughlines” presented a decade of David’s life through art, and this video companion to his artist statement captured the heart, soul, and artistry that went into each piece.
