Commissioned by Museum of Brisbane, Impossible Conversations explores cultural identity across centuries and continents in 41 stunning new watercolours. Impossible Conversations is inspired by Vanity Fair’s bitingly satirical 1930s series ‘Impossible Interviews’. The Impossible Conversations watercolour series emerged from Sam’s discussions with nine Brisbane residents about conversations they imagine having with a chosen figure from Italian history. Sam’s paintings hover in the space between question and answer, offering glimpses of the conversations through imagery and text, and inviting us to weave our own narratives.
