“Jame Surls’ works: ‘An unpolished beauty’,” by Stewart Oksenhorn
CARBONDALE — Finding James Surls’ Missouri Heights studio isn’t all that difficult. The directions aren’t tricky, and even if they were, there are not many shiny-new, 7,000-square foot metal structures in the area. Still, when I drove up recently to meet the artist at his studio, I had a small worry that Surls had not given me a street number.
