Zie prioritises accessibility in both process and practice, regularly delivering low-cost workshops to ensure creative spaces remain open and welcoming to all.

As a process-driven artist/maker, Zie’s practice encompasses screenprint, illustration, weaving, spinning, dyeing, knitting, ceramics and much more. Their work draws from a range of raw and reclaimed materials including fleece, fabric offcuts, discarded clothing, old furniture, and leather items with the aim of transforming the overlooked and unwanted into something alive and ferocious.

Their work is influenced by street art, loud music, protest, disability, alternative culture, working-class and queer histories, and butchness. Zie has worked in education for several years and regularly delivers financially accessible workshops across Bristol and the UK alongside trading at markets and organising exhibitions. They aim to share practical skills and foster visual noisemaking in those who engage with their work.

Alongside their studio practice, Zie is engaged in research and has contributed to publications including Left Cultures and IMPACT, exploring intersections of making, politics and identity. Zie is currently exploring the pagan wheel of the year, experimenting with how seasonal shifts can be embodied through material, process, and collective memory.
