emerging artist: Zoe Slee
My artworks explore the idea of costume
through the use of theatrical influences and the main medium of ceramics. I
utilise this by focusing on repetition in my ceramic forms and experimenting
with ways of enhancing the body through the use of these forms. This idea
concentrates on augmenting areas of the human body as a response to the body as
a surface and space.

It is also through this use of ceramics
in conjunction with inspiration drawn from fauna that I am able to give my
ceramics pieces an element of softness. The robustness of the clay contrasts
with the natural fragility that the forms represent. This quality is something
that is extended and explored through the scale of the forms and the way they
are arranged in mass across areas of the garments.
