BIO
Zephie is a multi-disciplinary artist and producer, 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. Rooted in reverence for the Earth as a living organism and working with the belief that we are nature, she explores themes of restoration, regeneration, 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.
Drawing on folklore, myth, stories and traditions from times when we revered the natural world and its cycles, Zephie seeks to challenge anthropocentric perspectives and plays with notions of hybridity and posthumanism in imagining new narratives for human life on Earth.
Zephie was recently awarded an Arts Council England DYCP grant to support her work in reimagining the body in the landscape, drawing on folkllore and traditional ceramics practices and experimenting with natural materials and ancient firing techniques that have a lesser environmental impact.
​
With a background in environmental strategy and campaigns, Zephie works at the intersection of art and activism and is inspired by eco-feminist approaches in responding to ecological and environmental crises. As a socially engaged practitioner, she believes in the transformative power of art and that it has a role to play in creating resilient communities by reconnecting people to place and landscape.​
