Her work contemplates relics of the Anthropocene, posthumanism, environmentalism, digital alchemy, magical reinvention of socio-economic systems, and spirituality in times of hyper-capitalism. It investigates the narrative qualities of symbols, landscapes, and characters through multi-layered multimedia processes, translating theoretical thought into fragmented, poetic storytelling. Her material process focuses on reimagining the context and purpose of materials and practices, interweaving aspects of contemporary technology with traditional methods of art making and fabrication.
Through this synthesis of methods and themes, Sam’s practice shifts our perspective of scale, space and time and serves as a catalyst for collective imagination beyond the analogies of our social and economical systems.
