Zoe Anya Goldstein is a recent graduate from the University of Southern California, where she received her B.A. in environmental studies. Her work is inspired by natural processes and the passage of time, such as growth and degradation patterns, as well as her own perception of time and the abstraction of memory.

When developing her pieces, she often lets the clay guide her to its final position, providing delicate structure or collapsing in with its own weight. Combined with the meditative process of carving, she is in constant dialogue with the medium to convey the durability of our own lived experiences juxtaposed with the fragility of memory.
