BIO
Zephie is a multi-disciplinary artist, producer and curator, exploring the relationship to ourselves, each other and the natural world.
Working in sculpture, installation, photography and performance, Zephie's work explores the connections and relationships between the human and non-human. As an ecofeminist with a background in environmental strategy and campaigns, Zephie works at the intersection of art, ecology and activism, exploring notions of posthumanism and decolonialism, while challenging dominant anthropocentric perspectives.
Working with the belief that we are nature, she explores themes of entanglement and the interconnection of ecological and social systems, with a particular interest in how we might reconcile our industrial heritage with the environmental crises we now face.
She works with plants and ‘wild’ materials as a way of documenting and archiving the visual language of the land and draws on feminist speculative fiction for imagining new narratives for human life on Earth.
Zephie was recently awarded an Arts Council England DYCP grant to support her work and is currently AA2A Artist in Residence at the University of Lancashire, where she is developing a glaze made from Japanese Knotweed for a project in development with the National Festival of Making.
