Heartscapes
Sara Phemister & Sally Rasmussen
Generator Gallery, Belconnen Arts Centre
Opening: 6pm Friday 4 December 2026
Exhibition: 4 December 2026 – 31 January 2027
This exhibition fuses painting and textile art to explore inner worlds through colour, texture, and form. Sara Phemister captures emotion with vibrant brushstrokes, while Sally Rasmussen uses fibres to evoke memory and connection. Their longstanding collaboration deepens both practices. The exhibition features large-scale paintings and interactive textile installations, with lighting enhancing their sensory impact. Workshops invite visitors to engage creatively — Sara’s through expressive painting, Sally’s through meditative fibre art. Together, these elements offer an immersive experience that invites emotional reflection, tactile exploration, and personal storytelling, providing a rich, participatory encounter with identity, vulnerability, and the human heart.
About the Artists
Sara Phemister and Sally Rasmussen are multidisciplinary artists whose collaborative work explores emotion, memory, and the inner landscape. Sara’s expressive paintings use bold colour and gesture to convey felt experience, while Sally’s tactile textile installations invite connection through touch, material, and sensory memory. Long-time collaborators, their shared practice is rooted in curiosity about the human condition and the interplay between internal and external worlds. Together, they create immersive, emotionally resonant experiences that blur boundaries between mediums. Their work invites audiences into a space of reflection, vulnerability, and creative engagement through colour, texture, and storytelling.
