SAM HAYNES
Cluster Photography & Print Exhibitor | 2025
BABY BLUES
Sam Haynes (b.1968) is a multi-media artist based in London, working with sculpture, installation and photography. With an Art in Architecture MA from the University of East London and an interdisciplinary arts background, her geometric, abstract work, using found objects and materials, expresses a dynamic physicality through a finely balanced aesthetic.
Her interest in photography developed through the documentation of her site specific public artworks, influenced by the interaction of architectural form and light within a space. Photo imagery is now developed through a temporary assemblage of materials, a comparatively fluid and immediate process, in contrast to the production of her mixed media sculptures and public art installations.
She launched her new photo print series of sculptural assemblages at the beginning of 2021, exhibiting in London, Rome, Buenos Aires and Barcelona. In 2023 she had her first solo show at the Bloom Gallery, London, exhibiting site responsive sculptures alongside her photo assemblages.

ARTWORK FOR PURCHASE AVAILABLE SOON
“I started my practice nearly thirty years ago creating public art installations, engaging local communities with the belief that art has the power to bridge divides within society. The creative process is still all about making connections, both in terms of physical form and human interaction. Accessibility lies at the heart of my work, incorporating found objects and materials, using low tech methods of construction to create abstract assemblages, referencing architectural space. These playful artworks, surprising and yet familiar, explore the tension created between balance and counterbalance, animated through the use of colour, light and shadow. I am led primarily by an intuitive process, with more conscious associations emerging on completion.
Since 2020, the photographic process has become a key element of my work, both in its development and display, presenting a fixed perspective while giving an enlarged perception of scale, allowing the everyday object to be both elevated and celebrated.”
