For this Back to Bayoulands BONUS episode, we are sharing a conversation between guest contributor Will Stark and the late artist and visionary architect Charlie Stagg.

Best known for his 'Glass Bottle House' in Vidor, Texas, a domed cathedral built from repurposed bottles, cans, andcement, Stagg was also a drawer, painter, and sculptor who's spiraling DNA-Helix-like works have been displayed in museums and art installations all over the world. This interview was conducted in 2009 prior to Charlie Stagg’sdeath in 2012 and aired for the first time, anywhere, on the Bayoulands radio show in 2016. 

Following the interview with Charlie Stagg, is a short discussion between Jason Miller and Lynn Castle, former director of the Art Museum of Southeast Texas, aboutStagg’s work and significance.

Thanks for listening!
