Zoe Hawk
A Lamentation of Swans

2023

About the Item

Zoe Hawk Artist Statement My work deals with the complex experience of girlhood, exploring adolescent anxiety, feminine identity, and belonging. These themes are tackled within scenes of play, group interactions, and discovery, often stylistically referencing classic storybook illustration. The narratives depicted in the paintings are meant to be sweet and somewhat familiar to the viewer, yet upon closer inspection they take a mysterious or unsettling turn. Sometimes conveying innocence and curiosity, other times confronting uncertainty and fear, my work investigates both the wonder and distress involved in coming of age. The characters inhabit their own little worlds and act out their own dramas; their clothing signifies various modes of feminine identity, while backdrops of wild landscapes, institutional settings, and suburban spaces set the stage for the girls’ interactions. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood—between fairytales and the dark realities of womanhood—the girls engage in an intricate play of yearning, contention, camaraderie, and mischief, as they navigate their social and physical environments.
