Description
Rae Saheli delves into the intricate realm of twisted, perforated aluminium created by the artist distinctive technique. Harmony in Distortion is a tale of tension and release, of structured chaos, and an exploration of the sculptural potential in the malleability of aluminium.
The deliberate distortion of the aluminium and the shot pellet perforations transform into portals. They serve as passageways for the viewer, encouraging an immersive experience that allows one to traverse the dimensions of the artwork.

About Rae Saheli
Rae Saheli is an artist living and working on Bundjalung Country. A longtime resident of Queensland’s Gold Coast.
Rae completed an Advanced Diploma in Visual Arts at TAFE NSW, in 2020, and is currently employed as a Technical Assistant in the Visual Arts department.
No longer interested in the application of paint to render the world in expressive or colourful ways, Rae’s work is unique in that her primary mark making tool is a 12-gauge shot gun. Drawing on over twenty years’ experience as a clay target shooter her process favours chance and chaos, over any sense of pictorial order.
Rae’s work has been featured on ABC ‘What’s Your Story’, SWELL Sculpture Festival, Industrial SWELL, Gallery Downtown annexe of Tweed Regional Art Gallery, Northern Rivers Community Gallery, Brunswick Street Gallery, Woolloongabba Art Gallery.
Rae has undertaken Artist in Residence programs at Placemakers (2023) and The Walls Art Space (2020)
