Zoe Elwood is an interdisciplinary artist from central Utah, now residing in Newark, DE. Through found objects and assemblage, their work discusses the ambiguous, fragile, and liminal qualities of memory through material exploration of concepts such as tipping points, slippage, preservation, loss, and the act(s) of forgetting/remembering.

A selection of spaces that their work has been exhibited includes Recitation Hall and Taylor Gallery at the University of Delaware in Newark, DE (2024), the Springville Art Museum in Springville, UT (2024), Finch Lane Gallery in SLC, UT (2024), oddduckstudio in Provo, UT (2024), Modern Visual Arts Gallery in Bethlehem, PA (2023), the Fine Art Galleries at UVU (2021, 2023), JKR Gallery in Provo, UT (2022), and Eccles Art Center in Ogden, UT (2023).

Zoe has presented their visual art- research at the Utah Conference for Undergraduate Research (UCUR) (2023, 2024), and SECAC (known formerly as the Southeastern College Art Convention) in Richmond, VA (2023).

In 2023 Zoe curated for UVU, Repeating Shapes, Repeating Forms: Rhythm of the Practice. This show, featuring both local and nationally-based artists, focused on diverse creative practices and unseen labor performed in artistic processes. In 2024 they were invited to curate once again, for UVU: The Shape of Belonging, an interdisciplinary exhibition that featured a selection of BFA students. As a former committee member at oddduckstudio in Provo, UT, Zoe founded and curated the inaugural exhibition, De(con)trust and Digest (2024) for the Emerging Artist Series, a quarterly exhibition series presented by the Utah Valley Gallery Guild.

Zoe graduated from Utah Valley University (UVU) with a BFA in Painting + Drawing and a minor in Art History (2023). Currently, they are working towards an MFA degree in sculpture at the University of Delaware.
