With the 'statement' or sound bite being used to manipulate any given occurrence or object in this world it seems even more appropriate to let primary experience fashion your thoughts and feelings about this work.

I was born in October 1975. 1976 had a heat wave. The grass was brown. 1981 I felt old and mature; it snowed a lot that year and into 1982. I could walk over hedges up the hill from our house. Life changed in 1986. I grew to love hot chocolate from drinks machines. 1996 I finished my A-levels. What to do now? I still hadn’t caught Santa after all those intricate traps.
I make work because I have to.
I still like Sellotape.
Sam has worked on a number of school projects including Gateshead Family Sculpture Day.
