Ramsden works across a variety of media, including sculpture, installation, photography, and video. Ramsden has exhibited widely across Canada. Several notable solo exhibitions include Anastylosis: Inventory, which was exhibited at the Centre Cultural de l'Université de Sherbrooke, Sherbrooke in 2000 and at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery in Lethbridge in 2002; Relations at Artspeak Gallery, Vancouver in 1988; and Urban Geography, shown at the UBC Fine Arts Gallery (now the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery), Vancouver and the Mendel Art Gallery, Saskatoon in 1990. Ramsden's work has investigated museology and museum display practices, mass media, and the social spaces and visual culture engendered by new technologies. Her multidisciplinary work has been described as bearing an 'obvious feminist thrust.'
