Fred Borcherdt: Modern Sculptor - Epi 96. Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Tucson artist Fred Borcherdt came by today, I've been trying to
get Fred on the Podcast show and finally found time.  I've
represented Fred for 15 years and own his sculpture in my
personal collection. Borcherdt trained at the University of
Arizona and got his master's of fine art at the Chicago Art
Institute, where he would eventually teach 3D design for 5 years.
Fred takes us through his art career chronologically,
specifically how sculpture came into his life and how traveling
the world on a sculpture scholarship influenced his artwork,
including time in Australia and the Pacific islands looking at
Polynesian art.

Fred speaks on what it's like to be a sculptor that works with
very difficult and unforgiving mediums such as steel, hardwoods,
and stone, what life can be if you dedicate yourself and focused
energy to your creative side, and what it's like being artist
hitting 80 years of age and where his art will go from here. An
interesting look at Tucson in the 1970s and building his home
above Ventana Canyon.
