"Her working protocol invariably results in an ever-present invitation into an inner world of unabashed integrity, emotion and oftentimes dark passion.
Her various bodies of work are akin to biometric scanning devices that use visual forensic fingerprints, or the iris of the human eye with its complex of lines and patterns surrounding it to isolate one from another.
Some may call that “signature” and “style.” Others identify it as “theory” or “conclusion.” Samuel uses the inner world— almost always her own—to tell a story.
She is a photographer with a deep understanding of what she is setting out to photograph.
Her work is deliberate and profoundly focused.
The iconic mental image we collectively share of a team of archaeologists and their students shaking a screen with increasingly small holes in order to get to the treasures is what Samuel calls “problem solving.”
