Unique Work
Installation
Zachary studied ceramics at Edinburgh College of Art before going to study for a master’s degree at the Royal College of Art in London. Whilst studying at the RCA he began to explore the use of digital technologies in relation to a broad range of materials to begin to develop a way of using sculpture and drawing to understand the world. In 2010, he set up a studio in London and subsequently has been fortunate enough to work and exhibit with some excellent organisations such as Royal Academy of Art, V&A Museum, Jerwood Visual Arts, and the British Crafts Council. Solo shows include, ‘Divine Principals’ at Pangolin London, Zachary sourced 3D digital models of Hellenic gods that represent the planets of the solar system and digitally distorted them using images of their own planets. These sculptures were then 3D printed before being cast in either bronze, Iron, Silver or carved in marble. Each sculpture became representative of how an idea can change over time and how we justify the universe and our place in it. More recently, Zachary has been ‘Artist in Residence’ at the Scottish Ballet, exhibited Simulacra, a body of work exploring AI at Cambridge University’s Museum of Classical Archaeology, and created a new body of work for the solo show ‘Rewiring’ at Pangolin London. As well as self-directed artwork, Zachary has also undertaken a number of public and private commissions recently for clients including Adobe, Cambridge University, Aviva and 2012 London Olympics.
