Come Close - a portrait of Zoë Buckman

We visited the Brooklyn-based artist in her studio to talk about what inspires her as a woman, as an artist, and as an activist. Buckman's multidisciplinary art practice encompasses neon, sculpture, photography, poetry, and embroidery. Her work explores the themes of feminism, womanhood, and systems of oppression. For our collaboration, Buckman created a limited edition of 75 artworks on vintage handkerchiefs, which feature a poem excerpt by the artist, digitally and hand-embroidered in white thread. The artist also created a shorter edition of 3 vintage table runners, featuring her poem in full. Watch the video to learn more about the process and inspiration for this body of work.
