Saba Besier’s sculptural formations are both a celebration of oceanic organisms as well as an acknowledgment of the ecological trauma that is disrupting ecosystems as they disappear. Recent work draws attention to the ocean as a system at risk, struggling to keep pace with human-caused conditions of climate change.

The artist subscribes to the Bauhaus sensibility of combining intense relationship with the process of craft and Fine Art. Each work draws on a hard-earned expertise in the techniques of slab building, throwing, hand sculpting, metallurgy, and alchemy.

Besier is a Pakistani-born, American artist and holds an MFA from Pratt Institute in New York. She is currently based in Dallas, TX and has been an exhibiting artist for 25 years; showing her work both nationally and internationally.
