My Mum sent me this wonderful short film about sculptor, Ruth Duckworth that warmed and inspired me this morning. I’d never heard of Duckworth, and I find her nature inspired, milk white pieces so soothing to look at. With all that Dockworth lived through –– she was forced to leave Nazi Germany in the mid-30s –– she was still able to access a lightness and whimsy in her work. Perhaps, that’s how she survived. “Most of my work comes from play. Playing with the clay. And that’s the most creative thing you can do, is play,” says Duckworth. “I am fairly good at obstacles, and somehow or another, I get over them.”
