Zoe Jo Rae — SKOG

Zoe Jo Rea is a british Interdisciplinary Designer and professional Arborist living in Oslo. Zoe studied Sustainable Design at Brighton University, graduating with ‘Hunter Gatherer in the Anthropocene’ - a project that became a manifesto for her professional practice. An upbringing in rural South West England provided a hands - on relationship with the outdoors along with a inclination to ‘make do and mend’, both remain fundamental elements of her identity and practice.

Zoe’s work is narrative based, employing animism and material innovation to create objects that trigger dialog and actions around cultural and environmental challenges. Her interest in community and skill exchange has led to engagment in the development of local multi disciplinary spaces and cultural hubs such as Kroloftet.

Zoe also had a in-artist residency at SKOG. You can read more about it here.
