Show Notes

In this second part of host Katie Burke's interview with carver Guy Taplin, we explore his fascination with past American decoy carvers and his understanding of the landscape and place where they worked. He delves into his experiences in America and the influence of key figures like Henry Fleckenstein and John Sullivan. He reflects on how his current friendships and mentorships have shaped his view of decoys and his artwork and how his experiences of visiting places like the Eastern Shore of Virginia and Cobb Island have been reflected in his work.
