Love Song (2021)

You don't have to do it on your own
When we're together, you'll always be home

- "Love Song" by La Poré

​

Love Song is collaboration between myself and music artist La Poré. La Poré's single titled "Love Song" is the soundtrack to Dani's stop motion animation film of the same title.

"This piece is especially exciting for me as an artist because, as a mixed media painter who has always created static work, this is my first time-based work. It is also incredibly personal, because I collaborated with my best friend and partner in life, my husband with whom I share our home. Home has been a subject of my paintings for the past few years, and the song was inspired by our experience of living in partnership and facing challenges together. This "marriage" of our respective practices felt so right. The animation is essentially the development of an image, that image being one of our actual living room. The room comes together over time, and life's little moments are woven throughout. What I find compelling is, although there is a final image at the end, it is more about the passing of time and the journey it took to get to that place." - Dani Michaux Samson
