Zoe Porter is a Brisbane/Meanjin based interdisciplinary artist exploring primarily a drawing practice, which also extends into painting, installation, performance, sculpture and video. Zoe has a Doctorate in Visual Art (QCAD) and exhibits regularly in Australia and overseas.
Her work frequently presents cross-species forms in an attempt at crossing the boundaries between the animal and the human, plant and human, real and imaginary states, chaos and order. Much of her work explores a personal mythology that presents the human form undergoing transformation, which suggests the possibilities for other ways of being or existing.
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.
Zoe has undertaken several international residencies including Artoba Art Space, Toba, Japan (2019), Crane Arts, Philadelphia (US) (2012), Geidai University, Tokyo (2010) and Burgundy, France (2006). Her works have also been translated into large-scale public artworks, murals and performances for various councils and festivals, including Moreton Bay Regional Council, Brisbane City Council, QUT Art Museum, Brisbane Street Art Festival, Woodford Folk Festival and QCAD/Griffith University.
