Sally Osborn
Glasgow-based artist Sally Osborn (b. 1963) identifies her own practise to be twofold, driven jointly by the process of research and the process of making. A vocabulary of her interests evolves through the acquirement of knowledge and an ability to make connections between seemingly random things. Her work is a study of subjectivity, of intuition, suggestion, attraction, possibility and materiality.
