Do you know that feeling of being fully immersed in the process? Whether it's creatively like when we’re writing, drawing, or dancing, or even when we’re running or going for a hike, we can find moments of absolute freedom in the process. Art making is so much like that for Cambodian artist Sopheap Pich. Sopheap is widely known for his large, immersive sculptures primarily made out of bamboo, rattan, beeswax, burlap, and earth pigments. In this episode, we talked about Sopheap’s process of starting with an object and allowing for its possibilities to grow and expand into form in his sculptural works. It’s such a rich and inspiring conversation about process, labour, and finding freedom in making art.
