Sam Keane is a fine artist currently finishing their degree at York St John University. Their research primarily focuses on feminism and the working-class representations in art through history, theory and their practice. Sam uses a range of different mediums to explore these ideas and reinterprets them within art works. Currently, their working hand sculptures disguise cheap materials as expensive metals, a metaphor for the experience of the working-class artist within the gallery and the art-world. Sam continues to explore these theories and methods further and is keen to raise audience awareness of the benefits to the art-world of involving working class artists, from children through to adults.
