In this intimate documentary, filmmaker Karen Carter focuses her perceptive eye
on 83-year-old working ceramist Ruth Duckworth. A study in contrasts, Duckworth's
ostensibly simplistic philosophy, "Work comes from play" belies the
complexity of her vision, from her ceramic sculpture to her extraordinary mural
work. Calling herself a survivor, Ruth fled Hitler's Germany, studied at the Liverpool
School of Art in England, and taught sculpture at the University of Chicago. As
Carter's conversational portrait reveals, Ruth did more than survive; she became
a pioneering artist, enriching the form and nurturing our collective wonderment
through "A Life in Clay." |
