Joan Murray (Interviewer)

This interview of artist Jay McCarten by Joan Murray, Director of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, was recorded at the gallery. McCarten discusses his former involvement in landscape design; the relationship of his design work to his painting, in which he uses wood forms; his early work in sculpture; his use of urban imagery although he is currently living in the country at Thickson's Point on Lake Ontario; his recent work in the genre of abstract expressionism; his use of sand and acrylic paints in former works; his family life; his relationship with other artists such as Jackson Pollock and Paul Sloggett; and his art education. McCarten explains that he left the Ontario College of Art because they were trying to teach people what art should be as opposed to how to create it.
