About the Item
TRACE continues Scutts’s exploration of typography, materiality,
and memory through experimental ceramic and glass processes.
Using her unique vacuum forming method of plaster casting, she
creates delicate, skin-like distortions. The resulting impressions
capture the subtle topographies of text and object, preserving their
physical traces within the plaster moulds.
Through compression, inversion, and removal, the process exposes
both absence and presence which transforms the material into a
record of tension, pressure, and transformation.
The works become quiet fossils of the pre-digital age: objects whose
technological usefulness and longevity are short-lived, yet which are
iimmortalised in plaster. Their surfaces, soft
and sensuous to the touch, play with ideas of fragility, desire, and
the necessity of tactility, which invites us to reconnect with what
feels essential in our physical lives.
The introduction of glass into this series brings new clarity and light
to the work. This medium bridges the translucency of the X-ray with
the opacity and solidity of plaster.
It acts as a material metaphor for exposure and revelation, uniting
inner and outer layers of meaning and continuing Scutts’s
exploration of how form, language, and memory can coexist in both
material and emotional transparency.
Zoë Scutts is a designer and maker whose practice explores the
intersection of language, materiality, and form. Focusing on the synergy
between two and three dimensional media, she examines how words can
be experienced through touch, structure, and space.
Her fascination with linguistics and material processes reveals typography
as both medium and message.
With a background in graphic design, Scutts’s work moves fluidly from
printed matter to sculptural form. She uses making as her voice. A
culmination of expressions through her hands, where clay, glass, and text
converge to communicate what words alone cannot.
Her practice deconstructs and liberates text from conventional meaning,
returning to the tactile foundations of learning and communication.
Scutts’s research is grounded in minimalist principles, emphasizing
precision, composition and material integrity. Employing industrial and
digital techniques (extrusion, laser cutting and vacuum forming) she
creates works that are visually restrained yet conceptually layered,
combining industrial precision with personal intimacy. Influences include
Bruno Munari, John Cage, and the Concrete Poets, whose approaches to
chance, play, and simplicity inform her thinking.
Motherhood profoundly shapes her creative perspective, reawakening
curiosity and sensory awareness through the eyes of a child. In an age
dominated by digital immediacy and visual noise, Scutts seeks to reclaim
tactility and slowness, using analogue processes to engage all the senses.
Her work invites quiet contemplation. Appointing objects that are honest,
familiar and inclusive in their invitation to connect
