Sammie Walkenbach

When I work, I don’t limit myself to a medium. By exploring an idea, the medium is often revealed quickly. The idea comes in pieces. Often disconnected from each other and usually without a clear theme or arc. It’s a feeling I want to explore.

The photographs, paintings, and drawings can stand on their own but they often birth ideas for films, which at this moment, I would consider my main focus and medium.

A big theme in my work is the figure in relation with its surroundings. Often bending or distorting a known and understood world to ask questions and abstract the image.
