The sculpture studio of artist Christina West is the site of a discussion on her work, practice, and aspects of the creative life. A basketball goal triggers a discussion on work / life balance while maintaining an arts career. A Mattress Factory show is discussed.

Controversy and another c-word (censorship) plays a role. A centuries-old problem is unpacked.
