Sam Haynes London, United Kingdom

Back to profiles

Sam Haynes started her practice over twenty five years ago creating site specific public art installations, engaging local communities. Her creative process is still all about making connections, incorporating found objects and materials, using low tech methods of construction to create abstract, geometric assemblages that reference domestic and architectural space.

Sam Haynes is a mid-career artist based in London, working with sculpture, installation and photography. Her geometric, abstract work, using found objects and materials, expresses a dynamic physicality through an finely balanced aesthetic.

She launched her new series of photo assemblages at the beginning of 2021, with exhibitions including FLUX and Fair Art Fair ‘Curated 1’ in London. She has recently exhibited in photography shows in Rome and Barcelona with LoosenArt and PH21 Gallery and has been featured in ‘Art Seen’, ‘Art Reveal’, ’Artist Talk’ and Collect Art’ magazines.

Interested in physicality and materiality of forms, Haynes effectively moves between 2 and 3D formats, using photography within the process of design as well as the final presentation of work. Her abstract, geometric assemblages incorporate found objects and materials, referencing domestic and architectural space, animated through the use of colour and lighting.

Haynes has worked in arts facilitation for many years which continues to influence her artistic practice, engaging marginalised communities, working in partnership with charities and public art commissioners.
