Gut anecdotes, Filet Gallery London
Zvane’s artistic discourse seems fostered by a ritualistic impulse which, echoing theprimordial and the mystic, delves into life’s potential for transmutation and renewal.
She dialogues with the ribs of the earth, life remains and detritus such as animalskeletons, shells, fungus and leaves, witnessing her relationship with the natural environment. Unfolding where mourning merges with celebration, in Paula’s visceralpoetics, plants are braided as hair, skin is grown out of bacteria, latex becomesshelter or trap, and fur scraps morph into uncanny creatures. Playing with the codesof monstrosity she tries to make sense of the unknown, ultimately addressing aprimitive conflict intrinsic to nature and humans alike. - Writer , curator Maddalena Iodice.
