Zoe is a practice based researcher at the School of Jewellery currently exploring Jewellery within a performative context where the object, the body and space is investigated. The interdisciplinary and collaborative nature of her works moves beyond Jewellery and into the fields of performance, sound, and dance
Recent collaborative projects include
An open-minded approach to challenging the boundaries of jewellery coupled with an intuitive relationship with materials is the driving force and motivation behind her work. Design ideas arise by experimenting with a breadth of unconventional materials often industrial in nature, the combination of these processes continually serve to initiate a visual language which is capitalised upon to create her work.
The resulting jewellery is theatrical in scale and responds to kinaesthetic sensations in which the tactility, sensuality and physicality of the objects is important. She experiments on the edges of the discipline and enjoys working collaboratively, which can be seen in her most recent work.
Member of Klimt 02 and Crafts Council Directory.
Zoe's research interests are concerned with the exploration of materials and processes which are industrial in nature and are not traditionally or typically related to the discipline. She combines knowledge about non-precious materials and integrates a variety of processes including 3D dye sublimation, vacuum forming and flocking.
