FENOMENAL (2017-present), a series of paintings in oil on canvas, is about femininity as a force of nature - fearless, unfettered and unapologetic. Vibrant and dynamic disembodied garments hover and flow through austere urban landscapes where walls and fences constrain while windows and doors hint at opportunity. The spirited cloth shapes transcend all.

Inspired by Maya Angelou’s poem “Phenomenal Woman,” and her unique upbringing in three countries, Rasmussen draws us into the landscapes – with their geometric patterns, the play of light and shadow and glimmers of something beyond –captivating us with the remains of an extraordinary presence.
