A Bridge is Built Between the Passing and the Grounded
Samantha Morris
Artist Statement
My work recreates the experience of an individual traveling through a space. Exploring place through architecture, interiors, and plant life, I am fascinated by the feeling of light and its stillness. The work is derived both from public encounters and constructed environments. Through the labor intensive mark-making process, an internal light emerges. The drawings challenge one’s own perception of space, where subtle tonality is reflected through illuminated walls encapsulated by darkness. By questioning both specificity and ambiguity, the work exists in the in-between.
