The first book on painter and sculptor Sam Moyer, best known for her unique practice of combining remnants of stone and natural materials inlaid into painted canvas, creating powerfully expressive works.
Artist and writer Ross Simonini, who has known Moyer for a decade, contributes an in-depth interview with the artist, and noted novelist Kaitlyn Greenidge offers a poetic reading of Moyer\'s artwork..
In this volume, the artist\'s first monograph, curators Renaud Proch and Scout Hutchinson contribute the first extended critical essay on the artist\'s art and career, identifying key works and exhibitions of the last ten years and detailing her artistic trajectory.
Moyer is particularly interested in the way architecture functions in tandem with her objects to create dynamic visual experiences.
In all her productions, issues of scale and space remain critical.
Her practice has evolved from its more conceptual and process-based origins to address formal and theoretical issues regarding the construct of painting.
Recognized for a diverse practice in which she unites found textures and objects in innovative ways, Moyer crafts compelling hybrids, often combining hand-painted fabrics with repurposed marble, slate, and stone that carry textural imperfections reflecting industrial design processes.
Sam Moyer has developed a distinctive language of abstraction, creating paintings, structures, and sculptural objects that draw inspiration from architectural space and natural materials.
