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.
