Sam Norton Catwoman, 2018. Collage


Sam Norton is a multi-disciplinary artist working in collage, photography, video and installation. Through these various mediums Norton works intuitively with an emphasis on making as way of developing, informing, and working through ideas.

Her practice is loosely autobiographical drawing from both childhood experiences and everyday environment with a desire to remain suspended somewhere between the real world and the imagined. While aesthetically and thematically varied, her work seeks to elevate the banal and transcend the everyday, exploring themes of psychological tension and the absurd.
