Clare Sams’ practice is within the realm of textiles, creating wall-based artworks, soft sculptures and immersive installations. Previous works have explored themes including rising sea levels, food security, and social isolation. Using textiles as a medium fosters a sense of wellbeing and welcoming through the tactility of the work and the domestic heritage of fibre arts. The accessibility of textiles can be used to encourage dialogue on sensitive subjects, offering familiarity and comfort within its realm. Sustainability is at the core of Sams’ practice, minimising the environmental impact of the work through using sustainable, recycled and biodegradable materials.
