"I am drawn to certain shapes, lines and subtleties of colour; most of the time their pull comes as a bit of a mystery to me. Their allure may stay with me for years or it may only last a short while. This work is an exploration of these shapes, lines and colour: how they relate, how they conflict and enhance each other." Artist Bio Zoe Crowder completed a Bachelor of Fine Art (Gold and Silversmithing), RMIT University, 2001.
