In the second part of our interview with Aldon Addington, the retired SIUC professor of art shares more about how his life journey has shaped his artistic vision and his commitment to both sustainability and community revitalization. Addington gives a tour of his latest work of art -- his home -- which has been built in Carbondale's Northeast side. Although it may look like a tree house or a barn on stilts, much thought has gone into this unique and visually-arresting structure, which has been constructed out of stainless steel scrap materials and enhanced by Addington's own sculptures.
