Drawing, printmaking, applique, embroidery, collage and assemblage all feature in Sam’s practice. Bringing new life and meaning to beautiful and often redundant items has real significance for her.

Looking to the past, Sam is looking for allies and evidence that things have been different and can be different again. By cutting up and re-organising images and text she is creating new stories and pathways, making sense of things that feel out of time or space.

Sam is an Artist Teacher, working in secondary and museum education alongside her own practice. She recently completed a Fine Art Masters and exhibits in galleries and temporary exhibitions across the UK. Sam is currently interested in traditional textile banners and letterpress printing. She is also known for creating collages using old postage stamps and maps, sometimes inside old broken clocks.
