About the Artwork

Through Samms’ ‘Rot’ sculpture series, she negotiates the languages of ceramics and textiles, combining distinct modes of making to provoke conversations around mimicry, hapticity as sensorial communication and deconstructions of flesh.
Samms visually communicates mimesis, revealing the interconnectedness of imitation with the repetitive patterns and processes of weaving and ceramic coiling. She explores the inherent properties of the materials themselves. Not only do materials migrate and crosspollinate between works, with the ‘leftovers’ of one piece finding its way into another, but this exploration extends itself to an imitation of both surface and process - she creates her own ‘material mimicry.’
