I've been fascinated by the sculptures made by Janis Mars Wunderlich for years. Her sculptures feature the bodies of women, the heads of animals and lots of clinging children. The forms change, but the theme is always the same. I knew she had twins, but I've just found out that she has a total of five children. Aha, the theme makes complete sense.Today she is at the Huntington Museum of Art, giving a three day workshop. Tonight there will be a viewing of the film, Who Does She Think She Is? , which focuses on five female artists and their struggle to be both good mothers and productive artists. Of course, Janis is one of the artists featured in the film. I am not taking part in the workshop for I am workshopped out, but I will drive over, meet the artist and check out the film...

I looove her work. She had some pieces in the Fine Arts Pavilion at the Ohio State Fair (really great exhibit, btw for anyone who would not ordinarily go to the fair) and has been in C-bus for shows. What a treat to meet her!
I love her work too. The film sounds interesting. Have fun!
