Creative Compulsive Disorder: Remembering Zina Nicole Lahr
http://vimeo.com/80973511
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 Lahrs 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.
I didnt know Lahr, but if this brief glimpse into her life is any indicator its clear she possessed an extremely rare spirit that feels completely genuine and infectious. It seems she was involved in practically every genre of creativity we normally cover here on Colossal. Make the most out of every day, folks. Lahr certainly did.
