samantha krukowski loves materials, images, spaces and time. originally from new york and st. louis, she was trained as an architect and art historian and has an active studio practice in austin, texas.
samantha is inspired by the similarity and repetition of patterns and structures that are magnified by technology, attention and representation. she is curious about how images and places function in the context of a society where most information is inescapable, transformable, interchangeable, transferable, forgettable.
samantha's paintings, drawings and videos have been exhibited nationally and internationally. her sculptures, wherever they are, continue to ward off evil spirits. people eat and drink out of her pots and sleep under her quilts. some of her architectural designs are on the ground.
samantha dreams of cold and rainy places and often has her hands in the dirt.
