​

Artist Statment 

​

Interested in exploring alternative models of distribution, Sam’s work attempts to situate itself within the grey areas between artistic production, display and spectatorship. Operating within found structures and situations, Sam’s work employs artistic gestures of transformation, ready-mades and detournement to draw links between art and its broader social and political contexts.
