Artist Info
Britt Salt works across tapestry, drawing, sculpture, installation and public art. Her works are complex in their construction and minimal in aesthetic, exploring site-specific and imagined architectures. Using intuitive geometry and hand-crafted methodical processes, Salt traces the intricacies of order in public and private space, internal and external worlds and increasingly uncertain environments.
Salt has exhibited at CRAFT, Melbourne; Linden New Arts; Town Hall Gallery, Hawthorn; Hazelhurst Regional Art Gallery; and PICA, Perth. She has received prestigious awards such as the Art & Australia Emerging Artist Award, Freedman Foundation Travelling Scholarship, and Highly Commended - Kate Derum Award. Salt has undertaken residencies at the Australian Tapestry Workshop; Youkobo, Japan; Arteles, Finland; Heima, Iceland; and Red Gate Gallery, Beijing. She has also created major public artworks for Melbourne International Airport, Tsinghua University Beijing, and Fender Katsalidis Architects.
Salt holds a Masters of Contemporary Art (First Class) from Victorian College of the Arts (2023) and Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours- First Class) from Curtin University of Technology. Collections include Wangaratta Art Gallery; University of Melbourne; Justin Art House Museum; and Artbank. She was recently awarded the Fiona Myer White Story Residency 2024.
