In 2019 Sally took part in a papermaking residency at Curtin Springs near Uluru in the Northern Territories of Australia. It was an extrordinary experience living on a million acre cattle station in such an arid, but stunning landscape. She learned how to make paper from local grasses, and was awestruck by trips to Attila/ Mount Conner and to watch the sun set and the moon rise over the salt lake.  The antics of the birds in the early morning and at dusk were very entertaining, and inspired some of this work. Many of the pieces were sold at a follow up exhibition at the Art Centre in Alice Springs, and it led Sally to experiment with more bird collages of both Australian and British birds, as well as incorporating handmade paper from local grasses into her work.
