IT COULD GO EITHER WAY

Witty, thoughtful, and sometimes cynical, Zoe Brand’s work explores the performative nature of jewellery as a device for communication. Using jewellery archetypes, ready-mades, and text, the artist finds potential in mundane, every day, throwaway statements – collecting, examining, and extracting them from casual conversation to transform into objects to be worn. In her practice, Brand engages with the ambiguity and slippages of language, exploring the multiple readings and associations of single words or statements.
