Sam Hasler is a visual artist based in Cardiff . He has made performance work across the UK and Europe in Galleries and alternative spaces. He has performed at several festivals including EXPO festival in Nottingham, National Review of live art in Glasgow and Experimentica in Cardiff. His work uses drawing and writing within a structure that allows decision making and creative responses to space, within the performance.

“I have been working on a series of investigative works in performance, text and images. At their core the works form long-running research into faith. Each work is structured around the space where it is made and shown, the locality and micro or macro politics, mixing with my fascination with architecture.”
