Nature is death and life. Intertwined, inseparable.

A multi-media artist, Zoë has concentrated on abject subject matter for a number of years. More recently, her work has been based upon death avoidance, and associated themes, with a particular interest in skeletal remains. Her main focus has been to steer thought and conversation towards the immutable fact that death and decay happen around us constantly. Much of it unseen by the naked human eye. Much of it, microbes, and insects, lowest on the food chain, devouring, changing, decaying material, transforming, enriching, and nourishing the earth, allowing new life to spring forth. Without which everything would stagnate, starve, and cease to exist. All would be sterile. Something has to die, for anything else to live.

Is it truly the death that you fear?
More likely a fear of the unknown.
More likely fear of emotional connections severed.
