INTERVIEW | Ray Besserdin

Ray Besserdin has established a 32-year career that is recognised internationally with over 35 awards to date. He sculptures artworks dimensionally much like bas-reliefs working with “a palette of sheet-formed papers” that offer a wide spectrum of colours, textures, solidity, and delicate translucency. The stocks are mostly mould-made or handmade cotton, mulberry (Kozo), hemp and flax stocks from Europe and Asia.
