“Learn to Loose” short film…

Greetings and happy Halloween to those of you reading this today!

I am thrilled to share the meditative short film “Learn to Loose” by artists Billy Joe Miller and Kahren Hipscher. (Billy is responsible for the artwork to “Fountain” and “Between Two Words“)

Here is a nice description of the film by Dianne Cluck, who’s song of the same name served as an inspiration:

“Artists Billy Joe Miller and Kahren Hipscher created this visual accompaniment to an early version of Diane Cluck’s song “Learn to Lose.” The artists also worked with the instrumentals “Dawn” and “On Leaving” by your truly to make short related meditations. At times abstract or light-based, the video reflects on themes of loss, relationship to uncertainty, isolation, and deep transformation – particularly relevant themes in this current pandemic and climate crisis. In making the video, the artists drew from their personal experiences with chronic illness and grief, and art as transformative practice. Using elements in nature, their own bodies, and glass and mirrors to focus and redirect light, the video is a collaborative meditation in conversation with the music. Filming was done at or close to the artists’ homes with objects and creatures in their everyday environment.”

Please remember to VOTE (them out!).

Sending love and light,
