Sam Haynes

Sam Haynes is a mid-career artist based in London, working with sculpture, installation and photography. Her geometric, abstract work, using found objects and materials, expresses a dynamic physicality through an elegantly balanced aesthetic.

She launched her new series of photo assemblages at the beginning of 2021, with exhibitions including FLUX and Fair Art Fair ‘Curated 1’ in London. She has recently exhibited in photography shows in Rome and Barcelona with LoosenArt and PH21 Gallery and has been featured in ‘Art Seen’, ‘Art Reveal’, ’Artist Talk’ and Collect Art’ magazines.

Interested in physicality and materiality of forms, incorporating found objects and materials, Haynes effectively moves between 2 and 3D formats, using photography within the process of design as well as the final presentation of work.

Haynes has worked in arts facilitation for many years which continues to influence her artistic practice, with a focus on accessibility, engaging marginalised communities, working in partnership with charities and public art commissioners.
