Artist Bio

Zoe’s practice celebrates the mundane, adding fun and beauty to the everyday through the use of vintage photographs and postcards, or items such as receipts and coffee cups.

Her work directly disrupts the reality her alternative canvases present and creates a new image, not through the use of a pen or paintbrush, but by piercing through the material with needle and thread. With the vintage photographs and postcards, this repurposes the memories already created to produce something new; or in the case of the receipts, it transforms ordinary commonplace items into a work of art.

The works utilise the traditional practice of hand embroidery, whilst subverting the archaic stereotypes this brings through using untraditional methodology. By altering the materiality of the items, this creates interesting challenges and a unique experience, both for the artist and for the viewer.

Artwork

Name: 303

303 depicts our cosmic neighbour, the moon. Its influence and beauty are unfaltering—from its visibility in our night skies to its effect on our
oceans. Hand-stitched onto a vintage photograph, the work creates interesting challenges and a unique experience. 303 is a timeless piece.
