London-based artist and designer Zuza Mengham is fascinated by materials. She makes large-scale sculptures and installations that explore ideas of what constitutes a ‘space’, and objects that toy with the suggestion of function. Often incorporating traditional craft techniques into new settings and methods of making – as exemplified in her ‘fictitious furniture’ series of steel sculptures that seem both pointless and purposeful – Zuza creates modernist, abstract works that seem intriguingly out of sync with reality. Her current work has seen her shift from steel to resin – another material that is briefly malleable before settling into permanence – alongside a jewellery series that uses powdered copper and slate to create unique marbling effects.
WHAT WE DO FOR ZUZA MENGHAM
We’re were happy to be helping Zuza’s work achieve the attention it deserves, and will be championing her incredible design-meets-art projects through strategic publicity and social-media campaigns. We were especially excited to have helped Zuza initiate her creative collaboration with Laboratory Perfumes that launched for the London Design Festival 2016.
