Esther Neslen, multi-disciplinary
Esther Neslen is a sculptor, ceramicist and educator in London who works both figuratively and in abstraction. In this episode, she talks about how art was a way of easing anxiety as a child, her early fascination with the human form, how sculpture and clay didn’t mix at art college, working as a graphic designer and then as an animator before returning to sculpture, how she placed human form sculptures in public places in London, her depiction of human relationships in abstract forms and how she has turned national and global events that have affected her personally into her art.
