472: Sculptor Janina Myronova on building momentum in the studio
Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have the final installment of a mini-series featuring current artists-in-residence at the Archie Bray Foundation. In this episode I talk with Janina Myronova about the narratives and characters that are the foundation of her vibrant figure sculptures. We also talk about the influence of Ukrainian folk traditions and the ways her time at international residencies has shaped her. To see example of her sculpture visit www.janinamyronova.com.

In our interview we also talk about making large scale single-fired works. Pictured above you can see the sculpture Janina made for the Guldagergaard Ceramic Research Center in Skelskor, DE. Pictured is the Queen of Denmark admiring the finished sculpture.
