sally spinks

London, UK

Exploring the changing nature of class, Sally works predominately with hand tufted and knitted textiles to create artworks that question our relationship to the medium, and how we perceive our place in the world. She questions how socio-economic developments have shifted our notion of class and how the increase in the culture of ‘me’, rather than a collective aspiration of ‘we’, impacts on society. She’s also intrigued by the use of code and how this becomes inclusive or exclusive depending on perception and our sense of belonging. Sally often works with graffiti that can bring a voice to the voiceless or other forms of code that speak to an exclusive few.

Sally lives and works in South East London and completed her Masters in Fine Art Practice at Goldsmiths in 2008. Since graduating, she has exhibited across the UK as well as in the US and Korea. Sally also works as a freelance Design Director, and is an occasional knitter of garments for major feature films including War Horse, The Boat that Rocked, Dunkirk and 1917.
