Samantha Read’s art making is centred around equanimity, change, assurance, timelessness, and mystery. The single figure is the anchor, the multiple layers become my way into a conversation that is felt rather than explained. Her work deals with her past and memories and how they relate she explains: “The role of 'memory' is crucial. Our memories help us make sense of what has gone on in the past, and the past is the cornerstone of what gives us our sense of being who we are today. Memory, however, can be very selective and easily influenced.”
