Artist Statement

Samantha Leopold-Sullivan is fascinated by the process of repair and salvage, both in the sense of mending objects but also of mending selves. Her work centers on interactions with the other, stretching through nature and machine, self and other, and conscious and subconscious minds. Through deeper exploration and understanding comes a greater capacity for healing and reconciliation, and her work frequently prompts both participation and introspection on the part of the viewer.
