While attending, Samantha will be expanding on a past body of sculptural installations. She will use this time to focus on new approaches and materials for her time-based sculptural works. While in residency she intends to investigate precarity as a metaphor for the body in recovery expressing vulnerability and strength surrounding these times.The conclusion of the Roundtable residency will be an exhibition in August showcasing all the artist works. Additionally Samantha plans to use her time in residence to plan works for an exhibition she has at Southern Louisiana University in October.
