“Pool”
Zoë Croggon
19 July → 10 Aug 2013
Pool is a new body of work by Zoe Croggon employing the aesthetics of architecture and the kinetic body to discuss our physical and psychological relationship to our environment.
Combining found and made imagery, Pool reduces image to form and expands content to its association.
Zoë Croggon is Naarm/Melbourne based artist working in sculpture, video, and collage. Her practice considers the relationship between the kinetic body and its surroundings, contemplating the role we play in our environment and how deeply our surroundings inform the cadence of our lives. The body has long been the focus of Croggon’s work, presenting the trained body and modern architecture as fascinating counterparts; each unyielding, severe, and rigorously functional in form. Created primarily from found photographs, her works study texture, light, and form, examining the possibilities and limits of pictorial abstraction and metamorphosis.
