James Castle was a self-taught American artist working in mostly found materials until his death in 1977. But his work is enjoying a new lease of life thanks to the repurposing of his former home in Boise, Idaho, as a cultural centre and museum space. Two of the minds driving the project, Rachel Reichert and Byron Folwell, tell us why James Castle’s work is still revealing itself in new ways.
