Sallamari Rantala

Sallamari Rantala is a Finnish artist based in Lithuania. Her practice explores the connections between landscape, memories and histories, which layer through nonlinear narratives, transformation, and contradiction. Her work combines drawing and forming of materials, often resulting in relief-like outcomes, blurring the boundaries between surface and depth. Rantala situates herself within the tension between extractivist impulses and material sensitivity, using this friction as a lens to reflect her multilocal identity, and positionality in place, time, and layered histories.
