Sasha Opit

Sasha Opit is a Scottish artist, currently living and working in Glasgow. Her mixed media practice involves a strong sculptural and photographic interest that weaves contemporary and historical influences, making work that calls for interaction and disruption of space. A key concept embedded in Sasha’s work is the generational impact of displacement from ancestral lands, a notion discovered when reflecting on her own cultural history. This attributes to an exploration of coercively transitory borders and identity within that division. A rustic aesthetic derived from dilapidated rural structures informs these ideologies whilst also preserving Scotland's history of injustice. Her work and creative values seek to further discussion of humanity's interaction with land in relation to current land and political discourse within the country and the wider UK.
