Ruth Duckworth (1919–2009) referred to herself not as a potter or ceramicist, but as a “sculptor with clay.” The Smart Museum of Art’s special exhibition Life as a Unity takes her at her word, foregrounding her sculptural production and engagement with the natural world.
Join exhibition curator Laura Steward for a guided tour of the exhibition and discussion of Duckworth’s work across a prolific period in Chicago and at the University of Chicago.
