Liz Miller is documentary short of 6 minutes in length and follows the award winning MN installation artist as she builds her first piece of public art for Art prize Grand Rapids. In a quest to not repeat himself, the filmmaker, Wojahn decided make this a silent film. He focused the camera on the artist working in her studio. He transformed her words into text and graphics in the frame. The result is a beautiful, poetic and contemplative film. A film Wojahn hopes you can bask in the simple pleasure of watching an artist work. The film soundtrack presents a new score by MN composer Richard Werbowenko and a wonderful edit by Corey Bauer & Channel Z.
