Synopsis: Richard talked about how his work is inspired by relationships - between each other and us and our surroundings. He talked about his transition from wood and clay to steel. We shared a love of mobiles and the tech challenges to make them work. We discussed the importance of having a business plan - understanding the operations of a business and the nurturing of collectors. About the Artist: Richard Sturgeon creates interpretive abstract and landscape sculpture, influenced by contrasts between natural and urban environments and a life shared between the dramatic landscapes of Northern Ontario and the developed regions of the province’s southwest. In it the artist examines the essence of our relationships; to one another, to one's own make up and to our surroundings. To see more of Richard's work, please visit:
