About The Artwork

These portraits represent a choosing. To surrender, to embrace-- to fully accept ourselves as we are. The whole experience of isolation can rarely be pinned down to one emotive quality. There are stages of emotion. Each piece in this collection represents the thought of remaining open to whatever comes up. A reminder for exploration; that everything we long for meets us at our center. Each piece is a transformation of the overall experience. And it isn't always beautiful. Even in our darkest corners, we can scoop out the dust to see what we've been hiding from. When we're alone, we can become hyper-focused on our own experience of self. We can either numb it; push it back down into our vacuum-- or sit with it. Turn it inside out. Look to see what's calling to us. Like refining our edges. These pieces showcase our power of observing; only to recognize there is not all darkness, even in the midst of deep turmoil. That our own darkness invites us to grow. To remember what the light feels like; the way it dances on our skin. The touch of a loved one's hand or a moment of connection with a stranger across the room; suddenly become staples to our human experience. Perhaps the best way to depict love and gratitude is by living, experiencing and noticing the absence of it. Quarantine, however, teaches us that we have been love all along.

ARTIST STATEMENT: Sam Rueter is a mixed media artist and painter who utilizes the female form to represent the larger unconscious narrative of both the individual and the collective. Rueter forces the viewer to acknowledge the presence of form alongside the fragments that come with being confined to only the bodily facade. By looking beyond the physical form we often hold ourselves to, we formulate a comprehensive, honest look at what lies within the confines of the mind. Her work asks viewers to tap back into the visceral connection, the innate sense of bodily knowing- to actually inhabit and confront our roles. The body can speak volumes when we are willing to become observant and forthright. Through this we can see the unconscious being processed through bodily motion. The way one holds their body in space is an insight to a deeper narrative; an unarticulated language.
