RUTH DUCKWORTH, R.I.P.

i just read the sad news about ruth duckworth's passing. i love her beautiful work very much and am glad i was able to see the ruth duckworth: modernist sculptor show a few years ago at the minneapolis institute of arts. she was best known for her giant murals, but my favorites were her small, intimate porcelain pieces. she was incredibly talented and my heart hurts a bit today...
