Samantha Dale Fox

My art focuses on medical science as a multidisciplinary subject matter. Influenced by the biomorphic experiments of the Surrealists and early medical drawings my work emphasises the intellectual and emotional disconnect humans have with our understanding of ourselves. It seeks to emphasise these disconnects and expose elements typically unseen. I achieve this by depicting the many facets that comprise humans, anatomical through to molecular, juxtaposing familiar elements with the unfamiliar, inviting the viewer to question what it means to be human.

I currently work in the pharmaceutical industry practicing art under my artistic alter ego Dale Vulpes Vulpes. 'Vulpes Vulpes' denotes the genus and species of the European red fox; a tribute to my namesake.

Previously I've obtained a degree in Biomedical Sciences and worked as a health care assistant in NHS hospitals. My encounters of medical science, through study and personal observation, inspire my subject matter.
