Zuza Mengham is a London-based multidisciplinary Artist. Rooted in a preoccupation with process and materials, her work explores the join between traditional craft and exploring new methods of making. 

The use and manipulation of materials within her work invites questions about the ways in which they are synthesised. Formal arrangements are put under pressure, combining elements that might be expected to oppose one another, so that new associations can materialize, inviting questions about our current societal demands, which operate within an ever increasing rate of content acceleration, consumption and hybridization.

Often sculptural work serves to create a sensorial tie or anchor to ideas of landscape and geologies, both actual and forged. The results have the effect of compacted narratives, merging natural and synthetic elements--both historical and contemporary--into inverse psycho-geologies, spaces, artefacts or relics.
