Zoe Elwood (they/them) is an interdisciplinary artist from central Utah, whose practice is deeply rooted in material culture and queer expression. They received their BFA in painting & drawing from Utah Valley University (2023) and are a current DELPHI Fellow and MFA candidate in sculpture at the University of Delaware (2026). Utilizing found objects and labor processes associated with domesticity, they interrogate heteronormative notions of daily life and discuss the impact of such on queer identity formation. Working within a language of concealment and reveal, of deconstruction and reconstruction, of presence and displacement, their practice makes reference to the House, the Body, and questions of belonging. By disrupting (transforming) the functionalities and gendered associations of everyday objects, Elwood’s material subversions ultimately investigate forms of being that exist in between/outside of/despite/in spite of binarized normativity.
