Lizzy Sampson’s practice focuses on subtleties and incidental details. She isolates moments or words as a way of honing in then amplifying, so that small details are used to represent or reveal something bigger about the structures and systems we live within.

She is interested in making with paint, video, photography and words, and improvising with performative elements and materials including found objects. Her interdisciplinary practice has included working in public space, with communities, in collaborations and within institutional settings.

Recently she has co-written about the politics of care relating to parenting in the arts (Soiling the White Cube in Care, Ethics and Art), and on class in the arts, (No One Here Talks About Class, in The Relationship is the Project).
