Zoë Wilson has worked with stone for over 15 years and has a unique range of skills, with a degree in fine art, apprenticeships in both stone masonry and letter carving, and a diploma in Historic Stone carving. She’s fortunate to have been trained by some master craftsmen along the way who have shaped her practice.
She developed a fascination with geometric patterns whilst living in SouthEast Asia. The sacred geometry of the rainforest combined with Islamic patterns captured her heart. Zoë finds carving these patterns into stone both exhilarating and compulsive. Watching the sculpture emerge from a flat pattern to a three dimensional sculpture is something she will never tire of.
She exclusively carves British Stone, feeling a deep connection with the raw material from her home country. Zoë finds the carving process to be meditative and calming, she feels very privileged to be able to work slowly with just a mallet and chisel, carving the patterns to the highest standard she can achieve.
