Every Contact Leaves a Trace is an exhibition by Sam Hodge where she is exploring the founding principle of forensic science that whenever two things come into contact, an exchange takes place. Matter tells tales, calling into question borders between things and the separation of humans from their environment.
Over 325 years the varied inhabitants of 195 Mare Street have left their traces on the fabric of the building, leaving it a beautiful, but battered patchwork. Within this patchwork, Sam Hodge will be placing prints and paintings that have emerged from her encounters with things in her local environment, on walks around the uncertain edges of England and gathered from the old house and garden at 195 Mare Street. Earths, plants and human debris are transformed into pigments and inks and encouraged to make their mark. Ambiguous forms of things that have been thrown ‘away’ and begun to disintegrate are transferred onto paper using printmaking processes.
