- Summary:
- A rebellious girl and free-thinking woman Beatrice Wood was an American sculptor and ceramicist. Known as the "Mama of Dada" she collaborated with Marcel Duchamp and Henri-Pierre Roché early in life before turning her creative soul to pottery where she gained worldwide renown for innovation and inventing spectacular never-before-seen glazes. Leigh Curran tells the story of "Beato" her neighbor and mentor who told young Leigh she was the "witch who flew past the moon at Halloween." Beatrice Wood inspired characters in two films: Jules et Jim and Titanic. Give a listen to the story of this wild, free woman.
