Like Floating in a Warm Bath

Sam's work is more hyper-real than surreal. The fantasy contained in his photographs is not a move away from reality, but closer to it. So close that recognisable forms change shape. Through the devotion of his eye we might better understand the infinite complexity of every subject which surrounds us, thus our world grows larger. This expanding Universe may not always be able to make me happy, but when I look at Sam's photos, it grants me what Roland Barthes found to be one of the most elusive sensations at all, ease.*
