Sam Haynes is a multi-media, mid career artist based in London, working with sculpture, installation and photography. With an Art in Architecture MA from the University of East London and a public arts background, her geometric, abstract work expresses a dynamic physicality through a finely balanced aesthetic. Haynes launched her new photo print series of sculptural assemblages at the beginning of 2021, exhibiting in London, Rome, Buenos Aires and Barcelona. In 2023 she had her first solo show at the Bloom Gallery, London, exhibiting site responsive sculptures alongside her photo assemblages. Haynes creates playful assemblages and constructed sculptures, incorporating and taking inspiration from found objects and materials. Physicality and materiality are key, as mixed media compositions, surprising and yet familiar, explore the tension created between balance and counterbalance. Repeated elements come together to embody a fluidity, emphasised by colour, light and shadow. Primarily led by an intuitive process, Haynes’ abstract language becomes a metaphor for human connection, giving form to an emotional core. Longlisted for the UK's Aesthetica Art Prize in 2025 and 2026 in the photography category, Haynes has been featured in both national and international magazines and publications.
