Zoe E. Miles (she/they) is an American artist from Los Angeles currently based in the Bay Area.

In her photography, Zoe explores the interplay between light and shadow. Zoe creates a dreamy and surreal atmosphere in her work, communicating the feeling of separation of mind and body that is experienced with dissociation. Her work focuses on the relationship between the intimacy of home and the comfort of familiar spaces, as well as the sustainable, healing, and ephemeral uses of nature. Zoe is inspired by theorists and writers who study the intersection of the exploitation of the environment and Black bodies, and aim to find ancestral healing through nature and growing life on Earth.

Their process is intentional and environmental. Zoe works with film as a way to ground themself into reality, uses an eco-based process by developing their film with plants to further tether themself to the natural world, and works with cyanotypes to create prints that are unique and environmentally conscious. Zoe’s use of handmade paper brings the consideration of texture, tactility, and process.
