Momentum Gallery is excited for Samantha Bates’ fourth solo exhibition, set to run from September 11 to November 8, 2025. The show promises to showcase her signature approach: richly layered, contemporary landscapes — landscapes that emerge from hundreds of thousands of dashes, dots, stitches, loops, and punched holes. This labor-intensive technique reveals the textures and contours of the wilderness that inspires her, while also nodding to domestic craft traditions and feminine labor.
Bates' work invites viewers on a contemplative journey, where close inspection rewards with unfolding pathways and surprises, and where time feels both tangible and emotionally resonant. In this upcoming show, expect a thoughtful interplay between mark and memory, abstraction and representation, and an immersive, quiet intensity that lingers long after you’ve taken in the last stitch or stroke.
