I work with old textiles, paper ephemera, and beeswax to explore the boundary layers between language, memory, dreams, and the plant kingdom.
BIO
Samantha Malay grew up in rural northeastern Washington State, where her family built a cabin with timbers salvaged from an abandoned homestead, hauled water from a creek, and read by kerosene lamp. Her experiences in that time and place continue to shape her work.
Malay’s artwork has been published in multiple literary journals, and is held in The Schwitters’ Army Collection of Collage Art in Sanquhar, Scotland.
