VACANT Vol. 2

VACANT Vol. 2 was a group exhibition produced and curated independently by Zoe. The show featured over 22 artists and showcased a diverse range of mediums including sculpture, painting, photography, video art and performance art. VACANT was created to bring artists and art lovers together to celebrate the emerging artist community in Naarm and to produce exhibitions in more unconventional spaces that feel more reflective of the ‘underground’ artists who are exhibited. VACANT Vol. 2 was the second of a series of exhibitions that Zoe hopes to be able to continue to produce and develop.

VACANT 2022

VACANT was an underground group exhibition curated and independently produced by Zoe in April, 2022. The show featured some of Melbourne’s emerging artists who mostly live and work in the inner northern Melbourne suburbs. The idea behind this exhibition was to create a welcoming environment for the artist community and make exhibiting affordable - no fee to show and no commissions. Zoe hopes to organise more of these events in the future.

 

SAD WORLD! 2021

Sad World!. Zoe’s second solo exhibition, took place on Friday, December 3rd, 2021 at Error404 Store in Melbourne suburb, Fitzroy North.

The show exhibited a collection of paintings that Zoe made in 2020/2021. The paintings are an expression of her personal Covid-19 experience in Metropolitan Melbourne where the population experienced one of the world’s most severe and restrictive lockdowns over a two year period. The work reflects a mix of the social suffering that she’s observed in the people around her and within herself. Themes of depression, homesickness, loneliness, and madness are expressed alongside an ever-present brightness and hope.

Chrysalis

In March of 2021, Zoe completed the cover art for American poet, Gabriela Ramirez. This was a collaborative effort for her debut collection of confessional poetry, Chrysalis. Gabriela uses imagery and visceral storytelling to dissect the nature of being. Her book is an elegy to the fluctuation of mental illness; a tribute to the in-between; an ode to overcoming. It is simplicity at its most strenuous, and transformation at its most sincere. You can find her book on Amazon, Goodreads and Barnes & Noble.
