489: Dirk Staschke on uncanny realism

Today on the show I talk with Dirk Staschke. His recent work draws from Dutch Vanitas paintings, often incorporating ceramic frames that are portals into the inner world of the sculpture. In our interview we talk about exploring dark humor and beauty simultaneously, and having the patience for new ideas to solidify over time. To see examples of his work visit www.artdirk.com .
