About
As a designer and maker who focuses on the synergy of 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional media. Zoë explores the intersection of words through the lens of materiality. Her fascination with linguistics through materials processes show typography as both medium and message, deconstructing and liberating it from traditional meaning.Her practice is rooted in minimalist principals which emphasises precision, materiality and composition.
Using quotations by inspirational people that resonate are the basis of this series of pieces. Concrete poetry, Bruno Munari and John Cage deeply influence my thinking and way of making. My fascination with linguistics through material processes show typography as both medium and message. Glass cloches contain quotations. Once extruded the letterforms adapt and contort through pressure and tension creating unique expressive forms from multiple angles. The ceramic typefaces within the cloches were inspired by Paul Renner’s Futura san serif font (1927) with its geometric principles.
