About

Sasha Backhaus grew up on a farm in southwest Iowa surrounded by machinery, crops, livestock and one competitive, ambitious, detailed-oriented family. This background fuels her interdisciplinary, conceptual art practice based in Carroll, IA. Sasha specializes in land art, installation, and sculpture. Through these mediums she explores her spatial awareness using scale and perspective. She is interested in bricolage, found and created lines, and the idea of what it means to leave one's mark behind.
