Sally Rasmussen is a fibre artist who grew up on Worimi Country by the ocean in Forster. She now lives and works in Yass, on Ngunnawal country with her family.
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 fibres. 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.
“The Water’s Edge is a place my mind wanders to.”
“These artworks connect the familiar landscapes to the emotions that come as a response from gazing on the water; flowing, crashing and still.”
“The memories, the calm and the clarity of thought. Every way the mind can wander.”
Sally Rasmussen, 2025.

“Mosses live with simple in reciprocity within its environment. A forest community.
As I walk along any river moss is sometimes carried and sometimes left on the rocks.
Gathering moss is somewhat a part of life’s journey. Some things we carry to the end, and some we leave behind on the rocks and trees that we walk past. Wisdom resides in the choice.
Tread lightly,
gather and give back,
at any point of the road.”
Sally Rasmussen, 2025.
