Zia Zia FI
Zia transforms spaces and places, believing that a simple gesture can provoke subtle shifts in awareness, rippling out through people, community and place. She applies this view in her large, temporary installations which invite audience participation, as well as in the expression of her minimal sculptural and functional work, provoking thoughtful contemplation and inviting interaction. With a background in Ceramic Arts, Zia alternates between periods of quiet, introspective studio expression and time spent developing and implementing large, public art projects. Always interested in unseen connections, she creates situations which explore interconnectedness resulting from common gestures linking people together.
Zia's approach is rooted in the idea that negative beliefs and past disappointments lead creative people to hold themselves back, preventing them from doing what they are actually inspired to do. Empowering and guiding artists to pursue brilliant, easy solutions for themselves — this is the driving force behind her creativity coaching practice. She works with individuals or groups, in person or through phone or online conferencing. Zia is driven to help artists empower themselves first, then to use this strong foundation to propel themselves forward and fulfill their creative dreams.
