Zoe Porter

Zoe is a Brisbane based artist and has recently been awarded a Doctor of Visual Art (Queensland College of Art, 2014). Zoe’s practice is interdisciplinary exploring primarily a drawing practice, which also extends into painting, installation, performance, sculpture, site-specific works and video. Zoe exhibits regularly in Australia and internationally.

Her work often depicts the animal-human hybrid in an attempt at crossing the boundaries between the animal and the human, real and imaginary states, chaos and order. Her performance-based works are often collaborative and merge art, theatre, sound and physical performance highlighting the artistic and creative processes involved in producing artworks. Her performance-based works have taken place in both traditional galleries and festivals including the Woodford Folk Festival (2009- 2011), The Judith Wright Centre (2012) and Current Rising (2012).
