Zoe Farmer

Zoe Farmer is an American performance and visual artist working with punk-electronic sound, silversmithing, and found objects to create both wearable and environmental pieces. Zoe was born and raised in Southwest Virginia and graduated with a degree in Studio Art from the University of Virginia in 2024.

Conceptually driven by her grandmother’s Appalachian upbringing, Zoe brings a DIY and feminist approach to her video art and performances. Her work is often visually tumultuous, appealing to immersive scales and modernistic technology to investigate rural subcultures. From wearable projections in “How a Computer Dresses,” displayed at the McGuffey Art Center in April 2024, to working with metal circuitry and deer antler in her latest installation piece “Are You Saved,” her practice is multidisciplinary and variable. Zoe seeks to tell stories and create worlds that are collaborative and futurist; where she acts as both consumer and performer.
