Samantha Jensen

Samantha Jensen (b. 1997) is a Brooklyn-based artist from California whose practice spans photography and self-portraiture, drawing inspiration from figures such as Gina Pane, Carla Williams, and Hannah Wilke. Her work examines intimacy and fragility, the familial and the environmental, and the collision between personal and public histories, speaking to a sparing, sometimes removed view of intimacy, and the mirroring often found within relationships, either between individuals or the spaces they inhabit. Alongside her artistic practice, Jensen works as an art writer, contributing to publications including T Magazine MENA, GQ Middle East, and Impulse Magazine, where she has primarily profiled female artists across the region.
