Scaffold Episode 70: Richard Wentworth

The celebrated artist Richard Wentworth takes us on a walk through London's Kings Cross as he reflects on the city and his life in art.

Richard Wentworth is an artist based in London. A sculptor and teacher, he is perhaps best known for his ongoing street photography project "Making Do and Getting By"

"Without feeling sorry for myself, I feel like a bit of a misfit […] I don’t really have a tidy sense of where [I belong]. I want to be effective. I would be a bit bored if I died and no one ever mentioned me again – not because I want them to say “do you know he was such and such” – I’d like to be the grit in a lot of shoes, and I’d like that grit to be useful across quite a lot of subjects."
