Love art? Glass? Wild women?

Satisfy all three interests with the new documentary “A Not So Still Life,” featuring the internationally acclaimed artist Ginny Ruffner playing from April 29-May 1 at the Clyde Theatre.

Ruffner will speak after the Friday showing of the film.Ruffner pioneered the use of a glass-art technique called lampworking here in the U.S. She took a craft that had been used primarily to make beads and kitschy glass animals and explored its possibilities for large-scale, painted, and incredibly playful mixed-media pieces.She was burning up the art world until a near-fatal car crash in 1991 left her unable to walk or talk.

This strong-willed woman re-learned how to do both. While the crash left her with deficits, she has more than made up for them with pieces that are even bolder and more complex than before.

“A Not So Still Life,” winner of the Golden Space Needle Award for best documentary at last year’s Seattle International Film Festival, is a must-see for anyone interested in the artistic process or in a woman whose indomitable spirit helped her heal.

Admission to the Clyde will be the usual $6 ($4 for under 12 or over 65). For more information, call 221-5525 or look under events at www.theclyde.net or the Clyde Theatre’s Facebook page.
