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.

‘Stack’ can be both a noun and a verb. It is a dynamic verb. A doing word. These bricks, each with a letterform cut out from the centre, explore the relationship between structure, language, and play. When stacked together, they form a network of strength and protection, while the negative space, invites interaction and discovery through the letter shaped recess. The carved-out letters preserve the spirit of childhood learning, where curiosity and touch help shape understanding. These forms turn language into something physical and playful. The striated textures highlight the interior contours of each void, allowing viewers to engage with the inner dimensions of the brick without weakening its structure. These letterforms are not added into the bricks, they are embedded in their core.
