Too Close to Home is a cross-site exhibition between Gallery333 and Traction Project Space (opening 19 Sep) which uses the concept of extraterrestrial life to examine ideas of community, exclusion and escapism. Aliens and outer-space hold a constant presence in many elements of contemporary culture whether political, scientific, pop-cultural or folkloric and often provoke strong and polarizing responses and opinions. The exhibition examines concepts of place and locality by linking and unifying the two disparate gallery locations with playful and accessible installations.

Zoë’s art practice combines natural and manmade elements to create varied mixed media installations. Her work explores humans’ complex and fluid relationship to nature and environment by viewing humans and technology as a part of nature rather than separately to it.
