Zoe Amor draws in space, sculpting and arranging natural forms into compositions that gratify the senses with their strength and beauty. Working in wax, clay and plaster she has embraced traditional and contemporary methods of bronze casting at the Garage Art Foundry in Central Victoria, where she explores the potential of bronze and the boundaries of her imagination.
Her work is often inspired by the indigenous species of an area, such as the Red Box and Kamarooka, which was seen at the Helen Lempriere Sculpture Award and forms part of the Bendigo Bank collection. These works drew strength from earlier exhibitions for the Mumunya Festival in Castlemaine, and from Origin: Dunmoochin at Monsalvat, where she spent much of her treasured childhood playing in the bush, and in Eltham working in the sculpture studio of Matcham Skipper. Reflections of this background were also to be found in The Tree Show - Bushwahzie, and Window to the Sun, her first solo exhibition at the Melbourne Art Rooms.
New works are soon to be found on the shores of Sydney at Sculpture by the Sea and in Dubai with a group show for MARS, her gallery based in Port Melbourne.
Zoe Amor was born in 1974 and lives and works in Central Victoria.
