An artist interview, captured by Sawin’s then son-in-law, Wayne Douglas, in 1987 during the earliest years of home camcorders. Sawin apparently took no notice of the video equipment nor had any idea the interview was taped. The “set” is the artist’s studio in Saunderstown, Rhode Island. It was a small space – fitting for the modestly sized works Sawin was then creating – but the location, at the foot of the Jamestown Bridge, and captured in the first frames of the video – provided Sawin both solace and inspiration. The bridge hovering in the mist captures perfectly the ambiguity of form – solid and ethereal – that Sawin cherished and made his lifework.
