Samuel Nugent

My work concerns my autobiography, which I articulate in multimedia installations, sculpture and expanded painting practices. I often recontextualise and reposition my childhood trauma and queer identity through casting baby blankets into uncanny forms, creating gangly foal legs out of wax and tracing erotic cartoon foxes to simulate abject bodies. My work often involves quick fixes such as tacking, pressing, stapling, stretching and hand-stitching to metaphorically represent the transitional development of the body. In creating a dialogue between past and present, my work acts to reconcile incongruous parts of my identity in order to initiate reflection and positive change.
