Zoe Morton’s delicate, minimal pieces have been created to sit alongside an adventurous, active lifestyle, which will resonate with G4AS readers. They can be worn to symbolise a well-lived adventure, a special trip or experience or to inspire new ones. We take a look inside her mind as she shares her inspirations…
“Every production of an artist should be an expression of the adventure of his soul”
W.Somerset Maugham
My collections are inspired by different adventures I have been on….
They all correspond with the incredible, wild nature we are lucky enough to be surrounded by everywhere we go. The Cove Collection is inspired by my favourite little swimming cove down in Devon, where I have spent many a day exploring, finding different caves and swimming with seals, its an incredibly peaceful place. The Greenwood Collection is inspired by fresh woodland walks with my grandfather as a child.
I use recycled and eco silver…
For all my pieces…and the ebony wood in some of the pieces is reclaimed from old furniture. All the packaging is made from eco-natural cotton and cardboard.
Adventure is…
Exploring new place, wandering getting lost, smiling, laughing and hopefully involves some sort of wild swimming / surfing.
It’s that old saying ‘healthy mind, a healthy body’…
But it’s true. Be green, and you feel the benefits, and you smile and laugh more for sure .
I keep active…
I do Yoga, go surfing and wild swimming. I also recently have got back into climbing, I’m loving it too!
I can’t live without…
- My friends and family. They are my inspiration to everything.
- Fruit and salad: sometimes when I have been travelling I really miss a good salad. If I am being particular then avocado on toast with South Devon Chilli Jam – I get grumpy if I don’t eat delicious food on a regular basis, and avocado on toast is a real favourite.
- A camera – Either my Canon Film one of Fujifilm X-E1, or a GoPro. I love taking pictures, so I would really miss a camera.
- My turquoise Peugeot bike I cycle everywhere, a mode of transport.
- Some tools to sketch or paint ideas.
- A surfboard and some music!
