‘Fractured Faultlines’ emphasizes beauty found in disruption and depth. Fractured layers reveal a multi-coloured core, rich with a rare, historical quality. Textured embellishments highlight the oxidation process, giving the surface an aged elemental feel. Organic and structured shapes are playfully juxtaposed, creating visual tension that emphasizes the balance between chaos and order. This work invites reflection on what lies beneath – where fragmentation reveals not weakness, but transformation.

Sally Born is a Canadian artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media. With a B.A. in Art Education and a B.A. in Sculpture and Metalsmithing from Western Washington University, she has painted for over 40 years. Working with varied materials—from acrylic and oil paints to metal, glass and foils—she draws inspiration from everyday objects and the rituals of her creative life. Contemporary graphic shapes contrasting with organic forms embodies a shift in focus. In Fractured Faultlines, Born combines textured surfaces, metal accents and rich colour layers to explore the patterns and forces of the natural world.
