Sam Hotchkiss

As a multimedia artist I sporadically alternate between projects and methods. Always looking to match visual concepts with suitable materials, my focus lately has turned to ink on paper and the occasional wooden sculpture.

Since drawing as a kid, I’ve loved the feeling of bringing ideas to life and creating anything remotely original. My upbringing in Northeast Pennsylvania gave me an immense appreciation of the wilderness, which contrasted nicely against the nearby city of Binghamton New York.

My work centers around heartfelt messages and abstracted scenes. Using organic and symbolic features I aim to create perspectives that both reflect and contradict natural order. An emphasis on visual equilibrium and a background in graphic design bring some order into the visual chaos I like to make.

I want to maximize interpretability leaving more room for the mind to wander.
