| ZOE WALKER &
NEIL BROMWICH
Zoe Walker was born in Scotland and Neil
Bromwich in England and they both live and work in Berwick-upon-Tweed,
England
Zoë Walker & Neil Bromwich can be described as both artists and
explorers, using their work as a means to navigate an unfrequented and
treacherous territory, the slippery space between the real and an idealised
version of the world. Within this liminal space the duo create objects
and situations that lead them and us on trans- formative experiences inviting
us towards an ‘other’ way of being. Walker & Bromwich
use seductive tactile materials to create objects that play with a complex
visual language which borrows as much from, art history, as it dose from
the aesthetics of protest marches, cartoon strips, and dance culture.
Their work is often responsive to a particular geographical site drawing
on a locations unique atmosphere, history and culture, to create work
that resonates against an international landscape as much as it dose in
the place from which it was born

Victoria and Albert Museum, 'Fusion', collaboration with the plastic surgery
