“I know clay and the wonder of this material, and I have seen the positive results when people work with it. Giving young people who otherwise would never have the option to experience this is a responsibility of society, and we must do everything possible to make this a reality.” - Fernando Casasempere

Through a fascination with the imprint left by humans on the earth, Casasempere draws on archaeology, geology, landscape and classical and modern architecture to subvert sculptural archetypes, while speaking to urgent global ecological and social concerns through the lens of his native Chile. Casasempere’s installations and public art pieces are internationally acclaimed. This is a rare and intimate piece of his work.
