Biografia
Samantha's work embodies the whimsical narrative of surrealist photography. Her images fuse natural surroundings with notions of psychological displacement, to seduce the bizarre and distort reality. Her concepts stem from Robert Frost's poetry and William Shakespeare, which express and reflect the blurred lines between non-fiction and fantasy.
She experiments with slow shutter speeds, natural light and texture to invoke an eerie air of the unsolvable. Her 2013 series "An Abstract Self" toys with Francesca Woodman's playful yet unsettling relationship with her environment, as she blends and fades into the background in a claustrophobic state of mind. Her constructed tableau illustrated a romanticised encounter with another sense of self and disturbing perceptions of Freud's uncanny.
