Sam Hodge is a painter and printmaker based in East London. Working with found materials she transforms earths, plants and human-made debris into pigments and inks and encourages them to make their mark.
She is fascinated by the transformation of materials during the printmaking process. Patterns and forms that appear organic, emerge from physical processes; for example, branching patterns produced by the application and release of pressure.
She also makes work with pieces of discarded human-made things that have been transformed so that their original function is no longer obvious, transferring their ambiguous and sometimes animate forms on to paper using printmaking processes. With her series of prints taken from unfolded packaging from the recycling bin, the ephemerality of cardboard waste is contrasted with the vast geological age of found natural earth pigments that transfer their shapes and texture onto paper.
The forms that emerge in Hodge’s work are open to interpretation, but always have a profound material connection with particular places and their history over various timescales.
Sam Hodge originally studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge University and Painting Conservation at the Courtauld Institute of Art. After many years working as a painting conservator, including at Tate, she started to play seriously at making her own work in 2008. Since then, she has exhibited widely in Britain and abroad and has work in numerous private collections, while her artists book has been acquired by MoMa and the Met in New York.
