Zoe Porter

Zoe Porter is a Brisbane based interdisciplinary artist exploring primarily a drawing practice, which also extends into painting, installation, performance, sculpture, site-specific works and video. Zoe has a Doctorate in Visual Art (QCA) and has exhibited regularly in Australia and overseas.

Zoe will create a large-scale mural for BSAF 2021 on Gregory Terrace featuring hybrid plant-
human/animal-human characters situated in an otherworldly environment. This work is an
extension of her current practice, which focuses on a personal cosmology exploring depictions
of hybrid forms to suggest other ways of being and existing. These invented characters are
often in a state of transformation and metamorphosis implying our connection to the natural
world and that bring together the real with the imaginary. Many of Zoe’s site specific and mural
works suggest an ambiguous narrative that often connect to the local environment and history.
