ABOUT ME
They experience making art and supporting the creative practices of others as a way to
breathe,
reconfigure,
play,
be (a)live,
shift through space
exist in multiple temporalities.
This is a metabolising research, process and making based creative practice informed by the politics of Black Radicalism. Zoë employs narrative building and dismantling, listening and questioning, to consider alternative understandings and activate further possibilities as a means towards some kind of liberation.
They make predominantly with clay, formalising ceramics using both handbuilding techniques and the pottery wheel. Each sculpture and vessel is an (im)material improvisation, responding to visuals, texts and sounds engaged with in Zoë’s research process. They also make using pen (lettering and drawing) and moving image.
Currently Zoë is working in response to the provocation of the BLACK CLYDE, an embodied interrogation of the relations between blackness and the River Clyde, utilising these relations as portals to multiple spatiotemporal registers.
In 2024 Zoë Zo, Zoë Tumika & Zoë Guthrie’s work will be acquired in to the following public collections: Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art
