Artist statement
Sam Treadaway is a multimedia artist, currently based in Bristol. His practice includes sculpture, installation, drawing, book-arts, and occasional live events. Often with reference to the urban built environment and making use of existing frictions between aesthetic form and utilitarian function, he edits and re-aligns found objects, structures and systems, through which new meaning is made possible. The interplay between the arts, as with other fields of research, often informs this process. A firm believer in the act of collaboration he curates Revolve:R with Ricarda Vidal.
