Samantha Greenfeld Vessel, 2022 Found glass, JB weld Steelstik 9.5 x 4.5 x 5 in “My works move between states of fragmentation and wholeness. Independent parts combine into a singular form; amalgamations of subjective memories flow together into a unified consciousness. By layering narrative intersections to expose their similarities, my pieces become mirrors through which the viewer begins to recognize aspects of himself or herself in the work. This identification with the experiences of another human life opens up a dialogue between self and other, in turn cultivating an awareness of a grander, interconnected community.” Samantha Greenfeld (b. 1987 Los Angeles, CA) works primarily with found man-made objects, which the artist amasses from her surroundings, to create sculptures and two dimensional works that explore how invisible lives and transpired events turn into visible remains in the present.  Her assembled compositions seek to uncover the latent significance and connections of our quotidian lives that will one day be part of an archeological reconstruction of our era. Greenfeld received her BFA in Painting from Otis College of Art and Design. She currently lives and works in LA.
