Samantha Everton’s tightly choreographed photographs create visual narratives that have profound cross-cultural, sociological and psychological implications. The artist’s vivid style, described as ‘magic realism’, has a cinematic and surreal quality that pushes her subjects further and further from reality. They inhabit an uncanny world that is at once familiar and foreign, real and symbolic, and it feels as though our forgotten dreams have been projected into the picture plain. The unerring integrity of Everton’s photographic processes and her masterful technical ability have been internationally acclaimed and extensively awarded.
