    Sally Brown is a Tasmanian artist and designer who creates unique furniture, sculpture, and contemporary craft objects.  Her work is informed and inspired by the structures and forms she sees around her in Tasmania’s natural environment.  Gentle lines, subtle colours and an emphasis on pattern and texture are characteristic of her work.

  2011 Remade
For her first solo exhibition, 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.
