Bring life to something inanimate

The work of Zina Nicole Lahr.
This short clip about artist and maker Zina Nicole Lahr may be as tragic as it is beautiful. Earlier this fall Lahr approached her friend Stormy Pyeatte and asked if they might shoot a quick video for her portfolio. The video was shot and edited in just two days and demonstrates Lahr’s insatiable desire to build, invent, and “bring life to something inanimate,” a process she called her “creative compulsive disorder.” Almost unthinkably, Lahr was killed in a hiking accident in Colorado on November 20th, a few weeks after this was shot.

A lovely being. I see in her at once the spirit of a playful child, and of an immensely old and eccentric person. I so wish she had gotten to be that old person.

That's too bad about her death. Damn.
I'm quite impressed with the photography on her webpage. The photographer did a great job on her portfolio.

My partner and I watched this the other day. Left us both with a sense of loss. What an amazing spirit. So inventive, creative.
