"Of All the Worlds We Could Have Dreamed" Opening Reception / Meet the Artist
Overview
Of All the Worlds We Could Have Dreamed
works by Sam Modder
in the Gallery at 3S Artspace
On exhibit: April 3 - May 31, 2026
Opening Reception / Meet the Artist: Friday, April 3 / 5 - 8pm
Sam Modder's work feels like stepping into a fairytale drawn in ballpoint pen and then blown up to the scale of a building. The artist creates large-scale, digitally manipulated drawings printed on adhesive paper — murals that reshape the entire space.
Of All the Worlds We Could Have Dreamed follows a single Black woman and her alter-egos moving through a world built entirely from her imagination. It’s part storybook, part dreamscape, and part test lab — a place where she explores power, resistance, rest, and the realities Black women navigate every day. Black hair becomes a protagonist here, driving the narrative in curls, coils, and shapes that feel both soft and defiant.
