Zachary Eastwood-Bloom's work explores diverse materials including ceramics, glass, bronze, jesmonite, sound and video. His practice sits at the intersection of the physical and the immaterial, the historical and the cutting-edge, referencing classical imagery while adopting digital aesthetics. Eastwood-Bloom explores notions of human progress in relation to history, scientific development, and digital technology, as well as the ways humans attempt to understand the world through storytelling, religion, science, or technology.
For one body of work, Eastwood-Bloom used 3D software to scan busts from the British Museum and the Royal Academy of Arts, which he digitally manipulated before 3D printing and casting into clay: the process transitioned from the physical through the digital resulting in the physical.
