Sam Haynes, public artist and found art sculptor

In the mid-pandemic world dominated by Zoom calls and dodgy Wi-Fi, there’s always a worry that any call or interview will be filled with periods of awkward silence that seem to last lifetimes, with both parties struggling to construct a conversation that ebbs and flows with ease.
