Life Stories #19: David Esterly
from Life Stories Hosted by ronhogan
In the late 1980s, David Esterly spent a year at Windsor Castle, recreating a wall hanging by the late 17th-century master carver Grinling Gibbons that was destroyed in a fire. The Lost Carving tells that story, but it's also a meditation on the creative process, a consideration of the sometimes tense relationship between artists and patrons, and an investigation into how Gibbons achieved some of his technical accomplishments.
