Dear Little Lightbird

Depicts the birth of the goddess of love and beauty from sky-god father and sea-goddess mother. After a period of gestation in the ocean depths, Aphrodite is delivered from the womb of the wave and continues her ascent, becoming the planet Venus.

Poetic documentary about this famous contemporary metal sculptor, showing him at work on one of the last pieces completed before his untimely death, some say from the three "D's," Drink, Drugs and Dissipation, but more accurately from the three "S's," Struggle, Starvation and Systemic disintegration. The viewer witnesses the step-by-step process of creation as the artist collects, cuts, shapes and welds cast-off materials into a sensitive human figure. The film concludes with a cine-poem in which Boise's works are elements in an overall abstract experience.
