Kansas City, Mo. – Renowned furniture artist and Kansas native Wendell Castle is considered a pioneer in helping to blur the boundaries between craft and fine art.
An exhibition called "Wendell Castle in the 21st Century" at the Belger Arts Center displays more than a dozen of the artist's curving, graceful forms made from wood, stainless steel and fiberglass. KCUR's Laura Spencer caught up with Wendell Castle by phone in his studio in Scottsville, New York.
