Modern-day renaissance men and women will enjoy this short conversation with Dennis Christopher Murphy, a biologist who made a career and life-altering decision to trade in his microscope for the allure of lumps of unformed clay. Murphy finds his inspiration in a variety of natural forms and objects such as rocks, sticks, moss plants and fish skulls -- and the occasional human-made object like a soap bar, thrown in for good measure.
