Charles Seplowin
In this edited SIDE A conversation, Charles Seplowin discusses material experimentation, creative freedom after retirement and the role of artist communities. His memories of arriving at Westbeth and his advice to invent opportunities connect artistic work with the conditions that make it possible.
