Time and Other Materials is a captivating exploration into the minds and hearts of five accomplished artists. Each with their unique perspective and medium - be it animation, ceramics, installation art, or large-scale sculpture - they unveil their inner worlds through a series of intimate studio sessions. This revealing documentary delves into their collective need to create and connect, not only with each other but with the broader world and beyond. Emphasizing themes such as discovery, mystery, femininity, and the vision of a better future, the film illustrates what it truly means to live a life devoted to creativity. Through five individual chapters filled with personal reflections and artistic processes, the documentary highlights the profound significance of art for both its creators and audience.

About the Artists and Filmmakers
Ana Maria Hernando
As a multidisciplinary artist Ana María’s work explores the sacred feminine and its power, questioning the long-imposed labels of decorative, inconsequential and superficial that have been historically equated to the art of women. Find more of her work at the Robischon Gallery and on her site.
ArtistRebecca DiDomenico
Rebecca’s work explores the reinvention of natural environments as acts of illumination and care. By reimagining these fragile systems and wild spaces, she hopes to draw attention to the urgent need to protect what remains, as one would a beloved ancestor or small child. See more of her work at the Robischon Gallery and on her site.
ArtistArtistStacey Steers
Stacey’s labor-intensive films are carefully composed of thousands of handmade works on paper. They employ images appropriated from early cinematic sources to build experimental narratives inviting reflection and contemplation. Find more of her work at the Robischon Gallery and on her site.
Kim Dickey
Kim’s work explores how we construct meaning through the objects and environments we create, blending psychological space with theatrical artifice to invite reverie and reflection. Find more of her work at the Robischon Gallery and on her site.
ArtistMartha Russo
All of Martha’s work is purposefully obscure. Her sculptures and installations are just out of the grasp of language and, thus, bring us back to our rudimentary way of collecting information, namely, through the senses and the body.
The work touches on the raw, the visceral, the nerves, murmuring up through the body to make a time and place for contemplation and reflection about our basic, biological humanness. Find more of her work at Walker Fine Arts and on her site.
ArtistFilmmakerAmie Knox
As a filmmaker, Amie looks for stories that interest her, are compelling and worth sharing. This has frequently resulted in films on artists, the subtle power of art, and the importance of creativity within us all. Find more of her work and other films she’s produced here.
Chad is a partner at Denver-based Milkhaus, where he is responsible for direction, editing, animation and cinematography. Over his 25 year career he has worked on documentaries and series seen on AMC, HBO, PBS and the BBC. See more of his work on the Milkhaus site.
