I work with chronic disability, and after medically retiring from education and library work in 2023, I needed a place to preserve and continue sharing my work. With a sometimes unreliable memory, this space has become a kind of archive: a safe deposit box for the ideas, projects, and pieces that matter most to me.

Creativity has always been part of my life. Raised in a family where making, repairing, growing, sewing, and building were everyday acts, I learned early that creativity is something woven into living itself. That practical and empirical foundation still shapes my work today. I create things to be used, shared, revisited, and lived with.

Since 2015, I have worked under the name The Fairfax Curator, producing work ranging from handmade objects and sculpture to digital collations, academic resources, and written projects. My background in education, librarianship, research, and community work continues to shape a practice grounded equally in scholarship and making.

All material presented here remains copyrighted to me but is freely available for educational and academic use with appropriate credit. Where relevant, Harvard-style references are included for citation.

This site is a place to wander through galleries, archives, writing, and collected fragments from a lifetime of making. May something here, one day, be useful.

Welcome to my creative archive. I’m Sam: artist, writer, gamer, blogger, and lifelong maker of things. Here I gather my work; art, writing, gaming narratives, sculpture, digital projects, and everything in between.

Created across my academic, artistic, and personal practice, this site serves as both a long-term exhibition and an open-access resource.
