  • The wild landscapes frame explorations of inner nature and fear, contrasted by suburban spaces representing the more rigid boundaries of society.
    Zoe Hawk's work deals with the experience of girlhood, exploring themes of adolescent anxiety, feminine identity, social rituals, and belonging. Her characters inhabit their own worlds and act out their own dramas. She depicts tension between the need for individuality and a desire to fit in with peers through their clothing, which serves as costumes of feminine identity. The wild landscapes represent inner nature, contrasted by suburban spaces depicting the rigidity of society. Somewhere between childhood fairytales and the dark realities of womanhood, Hawk's characters play and navigate their social and physical environments.
