The Zin and Bert Zine
Who is Zin and Bert?
Zin and Bert was created through my obsession with home-wares and my two
furry family members Zin and Bert were the inspiration for the name.
Zin Spends her luxury life being entertained by the servants who feed, bath
and take her on long walks at the beach. Zinny's days are also amused by the
findings Bert has to offer him daily. Secretly enjoying the company of the
opposite feline.
Bert also spends his days frolicking in the sun under the orange and lemon
trees. Making sure he is well feed by servants on hand breakfast and dinner with
raw chicken, beef and liver. Amused by the energetic Zinny when life is not entertaining enough.
The products created under the name Zin and Bert are practical items such
as concrete bowls and wooden coasters, candle holders and cotton
place mats.
Zin and Bert's products are practical items which can be used to brighten
up ones life. They are not to be taken too seriously which is similar to Zin and
Bert.
Zin and Bert home-wares is an audience who crave unique pieces of art which
are practical and ooze street edge to give them a feeling which they may not
have experience before or would like to portray in there living areas.
Zin and Bert's items are not gender specific or age specific they come with
their own stories and will appeal to whoever wants to acknowledge their beauty.
My
artistic journey began quite young as majority of my family members have an
artistic ability or flair and so it was ingrained in us quite young to express
our feelings and use our hands to create instead of become self
destructive.
Zin and
Bert is created from an obsession I have with unique home-wares and the choice
to try better the world around us in a positive light by up cycling and
recycling items around us into unique yet practical pieces that inspire.
What inspires you ?
When two opposites beings can compliment each other without having to
change themselves, for example Zin (dog) and Bert (cat).
What mediums do you work with - do you have a favourite ?
I love working with concrete. I love how it has been used to form the world
we live in, yet it can still be very volatile. I also work with wood, wood can be more forgiving than concrete.
What kind of things do you make/create ?
The products created under the name Zin and Bert are practical contemporary
items which can be incorporated into your home, cafes or workplaces The items range are concrete bowls, concrete and glass vessels which have
many uses, wooden coasters and wooden candle holders.

Do you have a favourite piece that you have made or created ?
I recently painted my artwork on resin bulldogs and rhinos which were inspired by my recent travel adventures which I loved doing.
However my ultimate
favourite would definitely be my concrete and glass vessels.
What are your future plans/dreams/aspirations ?
The future dream for Zin and Bert as a business would be total
world home-ware domination, or I would be very content with everyone enjoying a
brighter life with Zin and Bert home-wares in there home,office
or cafe.
