Sally Rasmussen

Living and Creating on Ngunnawal Country in Yass.

Sally completed a Bachelor of Arts (textiles) at ANU in 2003 and since then has been raising a family, worked in Steiner Education, and a Transpersonal Art Therapist.

Her love of making art with fibre, explores natural forms and human connection. Working primarily with reclaimed and sustainable fibers. One of the Sally’s signature materials is copper wire reclaimed from electrical wire, which, when manipulated, takes on a life of its own.

As light interacts with the work, it casts intricate shadows that imbue the pieces with a dynamic presence and an evolving relationship to their environment.

The pieces act as metaphors for the way humans relate to each other and the world around them—constantly shifting, interwoven, and in constant dialogue with their surroundings.

Through these works, Sally seeks not only to highlight the potential of sustainable art-making but also to invite the viewer to pause and reflect on the way light, shadow, and texture can tell stories about the world and our place within it.
