about Samantha Kerdine

I work with earthenware as a support for painting. Through ornamentation and domestic objects, I construct a repertoire of images nourished by my daily life. My pieces take the form of plates, frames, mirrors, or sculptures. I circulate the same images within them, which move from one support to another, fragment, repeat, and transform.

Using personal photographs, family albums, found images, or amateur archives, I collect ordinary situations, repeated gestures, and insignificant details that make up our lives. Whether they depict my loved ones, self-portraits, or scenes of meals, these images share an apparent banality. I am interested in what, in these familiar moments, strikes me as strange.
