I’d like to think that the viewer would feel something after viewing the work, perhaps they could even have some sort of physical experience or maybe see something that they can relate to in their own lives. "- -

This hauntingly realistic piece of Sam Jinks' work says to me: "Your life is in your hands..."
It boldly represents that familiar old saying people bat about so often that: "life's too short.." and conjures thoughts of looking forward at your aged-self , from yourself in the here and now almost to seek futuristic answers. It's an image that is frankly quite upsetting but incredibly, intrusively thought provoking and like all of Sam Jinks' work, something that cannot be ignored. The craftsmanship that has gone into creating each piece is something to behold itself.
