Nick McGill is an aging artist, and metal sculpting is a labor intensive craft. After decades of marginal success, Nick has phased out sculpting as it takes a toll on the body. I spoke with Nick about the artist retirement plan. Does an artist actually retire? Can you ignore a calling to create? Nick tells us about the new mediums in which he prefers to work.
