Zipporah camille thompson

Zipporah Camille Thompson is a weaver and sculptor from North Carolina, living and working in Brooklyn.  Working in experimental weaving, ceramics, and sculpture, she builds metaphysical landscapes: cosmic, aquatic, otherworldly terrains where dream meets waking and the shadow meets the sublime. Through sculpted shapeshifters and foraged materials, her work explores ancestral memory and the unknown forces that shape inner weather and outer climate. Rooted in make-do culture and speculative futurity, her practice works to recollect memory through wilderness. Through these works, she offers a way home, centering magic, care, and transformation within a boundless framework of spirituality.

Thompson earned her MFA from the University of Georgia.  Her work has been featured in Art Papers, Burnaway, and Textile Artist.org, and exhibited at venues including Jane Lombard Gallery, the Atlanta Biennial, and the Gadsden Museum of Art. She is a 2025 Socrates Fellow, a 2024 Skowhegan resident, a 2024 South Arts Georgia Fellow for Visual Arts, a 2023 recipient of the Margie E. West Prize, a 2021 MOCA GA Working Artist Project Fellow, and is a 2020 Artadia Atlanta Awardee.

Outside of her practice, she is a history enthusiast and roller-skater with a deep love for mermaids, unicorns, zombies, the moon, tarot, sci-fi, stargazing, and all things fantastical.
