Biography
Zamara Zamara
Zamara Zamara is an antidisciplinary artist based in Naarm/Melbourne; they produce reflexive sculptures, satirical compositions, and site responsive installations. Incorporating elements of sculpture, photography, and printmaking, working predominantly with ceramics, fabrics, fibres, casting, tethered by hand fabricated structures or situational architecture. Their focus in recent years has been producing ceramic sculptures of a more intimate scale, working predominantly with hand building and slip casting techniques.
Heavily informed by the touchstones of religion/mythologies, Zamara’s practice pursues the production of queered iconography and propaganda, with a consideration of how non-dominant histories may be located and alternate futures may be actualised. Dealing in memory and representation, influenced by an obsession with materiality, process, and tactility, they produce works grounded in sentimentality and humour that toy with the monstrous and grotesque to subvert and distort dominant cultural tropes through satire and the absurd.
