Sam Francis

Sam is an artist and edgeland naturalist who writes. She has had an on-going preoccupation with the colour green for some time. In dialogue with non-human life forms, her work explores themes of aloneness, often within the landscape, and seen through an eco-feminist lens. Text plays a central role in her visual work, through sound, film, installation, print, and reflections on space and place. Publications include a piece on the anatomy and culture of nettles in Caught by the River, and a text about island disorientation featured in Vernacular Journal, with green and blue poems featured in indie platforms Seedlings and Gilded Dirt. Her eco-feminist almanac Teasels will be published by Hazel Press, summer 2025.
