Art & Art History

Samantha Wood is a printmaker and bookmaker, who investigates the world through a psychoanalytic lens. Her work deals with deconstructing observed and personal experience of womanhood by manipulating them into a surrealist dreamscape. She primarily utilizes gestures of the figure while drawing ties between femininity, voyeurism, memory and self-perception with comparative myth to engage these narratives in a subversive manner. Doing this, she delves into her own psyche to create doppelgängers to act out as her own, or as a coalescence of personas.
