(Filmmaker in person)

The film explores the poetry, rhythm and mystery of the creative process, reflecting the life of a master clay artist who worked with an unbroken focus for over 60 years until fire destroyed her home and studio. The film captures the creative process of regeneration and covers her extraordinary history as an artist at Black Mountain College as well as her many friendships with the artists of her era including Isamu Noguchi. Music of contemporaries John Cage and Lou Harrison is featured. (2007, 60 min.)
