Kesseler is a practising sculptor and graphic artist who has been exhibiting regularly for twelve years. About his BAMS medal he has written: ‘The leaf and the book are powerful and evocative symbols and ones which have occurred frequently within my work, both as image and as raw material. I decided to make it very definitely an object to be held in the hand – an object of contemplation, a touchstone for the memory of things seen and read, things felt and understood’.
