Some say Taylor Wright Rushing is a jack of all trades: artist, graduate student, woodworker, teacher and storyteller. He's got the kind of skills a fellow could take on the road, ride the rails, and scratch out a living for himself on the free and open road. Some might say he embodies the skills of the art he says he's obsessed with — tramp art.
Centered primarily around the Great Depression, tramp art is created using found objects, such as cigar boxes, and sculpting them with common tools, according to Rushing.
