::: My name is Samantha Morse, also known as Sami, an artist and creative living in Michigan. My greatest tools are those I experienced since a young age: clairsensories and synesesthia. Since honing in on, these tools offer a look into the world’s and my unseen energies in an intentional way, which is central in my practice.
In painting I explore metaphysics and the ability to delineate what isn’t readily recognized, but definitely there. With ‘just right’ color, brush, and multiple (often recycled or natural) materials, I have room to relay what the subtle looks like within the finer realms.
With photography, I work within this physical realm. I have the filter of material reality to reflect metaphysic and emotional, often feminine compositions. In addition, it’s usually ‘on hand’ when I have my camera, so I find it to be more documentative even though it isn’t always concrete or literal in composition.
I feel as though each piece beckons something specific, like a calling preceding or dictating creation. In this way I interact with my soul’s language and translate the amount of experience my internal world wants to offer. And here, it is often within trauma healing, individual and collective. This is why my interest lies in the simple notion of emotional expression (though complex or potent), psychological recovery and exploration, the finding of understanding, the freedom of grief, and high respect for the natural world. Reconnection and loving are so very crucial to my purpose in making work. With it all I hope to bring justice, peace, and material change.
In any media I would say it feels highly expressive for the process, for my humanity and spirituality. In that thread, we are ultimately both and therefore I don’t think I could have one over the other in dominating my work. :::
