Biography

Zoe Veness is a Senior Lecturer at UNSW Art & Design, specializing in contemporary jewellery and design education. With a background in classical ballet and design, she graduated with a Diploma in Dance from the Australian Ballet School in Melbourne, followed by a Bachelor of Design, Master of Design (Research), and a Doctor of Philosophy from UNSW Art & Design. She has served as an artist-in-residence at prestigious institutions such as Bundanon and the Edinburgh College of Art. Her artistic practice explores the aesthetics of time and craft, informed by interests in notions of place, movement, and materiality. Veness employs a dichotomous approach, oscillating between experimental methodologies in paper and metal mediums. She has developed numerous projects including solo exhibitions and collaborations with other artists and institutions. Her work has been included in national touring exhibitions and is held in collections at museums and galleries across Australia. Since joining UNSW in 2018, she has taken on key leadership roles within the Design School, including Programme Director for the Bachelor of Design and Master of Design.
