Note: ?Lips' have been a recurring theme in the artist's work since the 1980s. Often arranged in groups or ?towers?, the variations, textures and repetitions of these lips, as found images, emphasise here how each tells its own story and reflects its inner life. Samore?s work is strongly influenced by filmmakers such as Chris Marker, Andy Warhol and Alfred Hitchcock, as well as by classical mythology and modern experimental novels. These large-scale photographs, roughly the size of our bodies, have a physical presence.
