Tim Eads on artblog radio

Tim Eads is a maker -- he used to use ceramics as his medium but now it's whatever he needs, from welded steel to wood to digital tools, or even trash. He grew up on a ranch in Texas where every day there was something to make or fix or engineer in that home-grown tinkerer's way that happens on a farm or ranch. Tim's art has been shown all over Philadelphia and his project Taxonomy of Trash is on view at the DCCA now until July 21. He recently installed several welded steel benches at the Little Berlin Fairgrounds , a park in progress in North Philly. In this interview Tim talks about his trajectory from graphic art designer to teacher (he's K-12 certified) and on to his MFA from Cranbrook. How he measures success and whether success is even an issue if you are an artist whose whole life is devoted to making art are topics we discuss. We met Tim in his North Philadelphia studio on April 23. Here's a link to Tim's website with lots of images of his projects.
