o Dimensions: 6 x 23 inches

o Description:

Zoe creates isolated figures that reflect various degrees of evolution and playful expansion. Through a collection of amoebic shapes, she looks to amplify their imagined features with humorous size and vivid colors. By creating something so other, yet very similar to our own microscopic making, her work is dependent on envisioning these peculiar forms taking an active role in our lives. Pickbonelace is a wearable sculpture piece. The acquired name is a mash-up of Pickles (amoebic shapes I am aesthetically drawn to) and Bones (the mentioned shapes taking on a physical attribute of our bodies in order to create a familiar introduction and bond) as a Necklace. The narrative of this work focuses on humor connecting ambiguous form -vs- discomfort -vs- our own familiar human makeup. It weighs approximately 2.5 lbs. and is constructed from 90% upcycled materials found at the Resource Depot in West Palm Beach.
