Description
Sopheap Pich, one of Cambodia's most innovative artists, speaks from his studio about his ‘non-wastage' approach. Working from his farm in Cambodia’s mountains he makes use of the materials around him. This might mean he creates pigment from soil, weaves with rice sacks or softens bamboo and rattan to create his monumental woven sculptures. We discuss in detail the trajectory of his practice—including his studies in America to returning to Cambodia—as well as hosting vast ‘Art on the Farm’ evening for the country’s artists.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
