The Places We Go To Feel Small

2022: Pen, paint pen and acyclic paint on mountboard

Consisting of 8 pieces ‘The Places We Go To Feel Small’ focuses on wild mountainous landscapes and giant geological features that have fascinated us for centuries. Whether you view these giants through binoculars, read or listen to their stories or love to physically be upon them, Sam explores how they call to us all. She is particularly interested in the different ways we engage with natural spaces and the feeling of smallness they induce. For her this smallness gives a perspective on life that she describes as a ‘beautiful insignificance’. What can feel immense in your day-to-day life can be washed away by time in nature and space.

A selection of work from this series and previous collections will be on show at the Kendal Monntain Festival - 17-20 November, followed by a show of all work at Art Pistol Gallery in the January 2022.
