Characterized by bold color and overstuffed, mutated forms, Sam Jaffe’s recent work explores concepts of labor, folk and domestic art traditions, ornamentation, collecting behaviors, and femininity. All of her art materials are recycled, reused, repurposed, deadstock (inventory deemed unsellable by the retailer), vintage, or otherwise sustainably sourced. To craft her patterned wall hangings, Jaffe upholsters a puzzle-like arrangement of laser-cut wood pieces with fabric and hand-sewn details, thus creating a unified, swirling composition.
