Artist Interview: Susan Carr

This interview is a special one. It made it's way into more of casual conversation, and one where Susan Carr and I interviewed each other. Carr, a Cape Cod based artist, decided to visit my home and studio. During the visit, we sat and talked about the aspects of our work and process. I found that we shared some of the same views based on the interview questions. We viewed each others work and it helped the interview along. I really enjoyed our chat and what she had to say. Take a listen below. (due to irregular sound levels, this episode is not recommended for use with headphones)
