Album

Sam Porritt is an artist living and working in Zurich, working across drawing, sculpture, text and the moving image, his work is concerned with whole spectrum of human behavior and its implications. What can at first appear to be unconnected ideas and questions, often articulated in disparate ways, are in fact often the same intractable problems only viewed from different perspectives. Added to this is his underlying interest in producing things that ‘stand-alone’, artworks that require little if any corroborating information outside of themselves. Album is composed of six loose A3 sheets, folded in half and assembled at random. The individual sheets can be taken apart and framed. Each sheet features a full color ink and wax crayon drawing on one side and a black and white, brush and ink one on the other. Together, they form an anthology of Sam Porritt’s drawings of the last twenty years.
