Zoe Harper
London, United Kingdom
Zoe Harper (b. 1999) graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2023 with a BA in Fine Art. Through a process of translation, she immerses herself in the intimate and fleeting moments captured in photographs, objects and words in a desire to preserve them. Her works span across a variety of mediums, from painting, textile, ceramics, printmaking and video.
Zoe aims to commemorate the beauty and simplicity of a single moment in time. Piecing together fragments of days gone by in order to make the intangible moments make sense to her. She employs a playful approach towards language in her works, whether it be in the content or the titles. This playfulness specifically involves abstracting language, or using language in a non-literal and unconventional way. Through this approach, Zoe playfully highlights the transitory and elusive qualities of recollection; mimicking the fleeting and ungraspable nature of reminiscing.
