Sarah Rosalena

Standard Candle and Expanding Axis

Rosalena works between traditional craft traditions and emerging technology, breaking boundaries through her hybrid forms rooted in Indigenous cosmologies, re-interpreted through digital tools and her hand. These works were made during a residency at Mount Wilson Observatory in California drawing parallels between the use of so-called ‘low skill’ labour – women in weaving as Jacquard pattern readers and women in physics as “computers”.
