Rast's small sculptures reflect her interest in the meditative properties of the twining process and a concern with how the body interacts with the mind. Her small, curious shapes are at variance with our expectations of functional objects as well as sculpture. With their many and varied associations, they trigger visceral responses from the viewer.
