Echoes of Release by Samantha Davies

5.300 

Samantha Davies is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her sculpted silk creations that embody subtle emotions, sensuality, and transformation. Her monochromatic white-on-white forms, reminiscent of the elegance of Madame Vionnet, explore themes of resilience, healing, and self-discovery through a meditative artistic process. A transformative residency in Canada deepened her connection to water as a medium, inspiring series like Letting Go and Treading Deep Waters, which integrate personal experiences with water and body acceptance. Her work has been exhibited internationally in Paris, Berlin, Dubai, Switzerland, and New York, as well as in renowned UK venues such as Citadel Fine Arts Gallery, Espacio Gallery, Charterhouse Square at the Barbican, and the Lighthouse Gallery at the National Ballet. Transitioning from a foundation in pediatric nursing to a full-time art practice, Davies highlights the therapeutic power of creative expression, using her work to bridge the personal and universal while inviting viewers into an intimate, introspective dialogue.

In pure white, each fold whispers the quiet strength of letting go, evoking a visceral sense of peace as boundaries blur between control and freedom. In the simplicity of silk, we find the complexities of release.
