Samantha Francis Somerset, United Kingdom
I am a multi-disciplinary artist working with film, image, sound, text, natural materials. For 15 years I have worked as a creative producer/curator developing experimental interdisciplinary projects/programmes.
Often rooted in personal ritual and collective experience, my process involves the purposeful act of 'drifting', drawing upon movement and intuition to explore, interact and engage with places and spaces to discover real or imagined mythologies, and a spirit of place. I am interested in non normative ways of being, engaging with non-hierarchical artist collectives, and communities, and the symbiotic relationship between humans and the plant world, in relation to how our entangled roots can connect, and co-exist.
