	2010-11	Remade Sally is currently working on a body of work for her first solo exhibition; Remade. Sally plans to explore innovative and creative uses for industrial and domestic waste products not ordinarily considered suitable for fine furniture and design. Each work will be both an exploration into the functional potential of a given material, and a celebration of its aesthetic value. Through this exhibition Sally intends to demonstrate that discarded or overlooked materials can be reworked into sophisticated, bespoke art pieces. (Dec 2011 -dates to be confirmed) The Design Centre Launceston
