Zoe at the OCCCA

Zoe's work, '925 Evergreen St.' was selected for inclusion in the upcoming exhibition, "HÔME" at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

The opening reception at the OCCCA is at 6pm on Saturday, July 5th.  The exhibition runs from the 5th, through the 26th of July.

The work, '925 Evergreen St.' is a part of Zoe's "Foamless = Homeless" series, which 'create[s] a narrative featuring an ambiguous  coming disaster, which could be natural or man-made.  Homes, and the notions of everyday life are threatened, so a solution is developed and propagated: cover your home in foam.' (ZP, 2014).  

Follow the links for previews to: the full series when it was installed in San Francisco, was featured in SF Art Enthusiast, related images, the "Foamless=Homeless" book, and an early, in-studio snapshot.

But remember to go and see the work in person, at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art!

FOAMLESS = HOMELESS PREVIEW SHOTS (Round 2)

Hello, as I've alluded to before, I've been working an a big sculpture involving dollhouses and spray foam. The piece is still in progress, but I thought it would be nice to show some photos of how it's coming. The foam part is done, next step is furnishing my houses!

Some studio shots of my house mountain in progress. Just imagine it all with more foam and less plastic wrap. That's there so I can pull my houses out of the foam for moving.
