“Hi, I’m Samantha. My art practice explores the intersection of consumerism and sustainability, amplifying my infatuation with the culture of ‘disposability’, where our daily rituals are shaped by thoughtlessly discarding single use-items and mass-produced packaging. I’m also intrigued by the tensions surrounding what we consider ‘natural’ and ‘artificial’ and the conflicting relationships between evolving ‘beauty’ and ageing expectations. In response to overconsumption, I’m drawn to the histories and rare qualities that are impregnated within antique, vintage, handcrafted and upcycled objects.”
