Samantha Boot is a contemporary Artist Maker, working by hand with thread, cloth and words. Drawn to the ancient lineage and domesticity of her materials, she creates quiet, thoughtful works inspired by the narrative of place and memory using a reductive colour palette, often with handmade, natural inks and paints. A personal lexicon of hand stitches imbues each piece with layered meaning, which reaches beyond the aesthetic, and grounds the work in the slow, meditative processes involved in their creation.
A recipient of Arts Council England DYCP funding (2022), she has had work exhibited nationally and internationally, and has had a number of articles about her practice published around the world.
Samantha is available for commissions, workshops and talks.
