Pippi Zornoza is an interdisciplinary artist working in installation, sound, performance, printmaking, communing, collecting, and archiving. Much of her work deals with the emotional residue of memory, grief, loss, and desire. The form that the work takes is ever shifting. However, certain through-lines persist - a preoccupation with space (specifically the day to day spaces we inhabit, as well as creating otherworldly spaces), and the passage of time. She is a co-founder of the Dirt Palace feminist artist run space in Providence Rhode Island. Zornoza's work has been featured internationally at such venues as: Grace Exhibition Space; Carpenter Center, Harvard University; P.S. 1; Boston Center for the Arts; SOHO20 CHELSEA; Santa Monica Museum of Art; Queens Museum; David Winton Bell Gallery, Providence; Centro Polivalente di Villa Pacchiani, Italy; REMAINS; Art Aqua, 5 Traverse Gallery, Miami; ADHOC gallery, NYC; Space 1026, Philadelphia; Rhode Island School of Design Museum; Contemporary Artists Center, North Adams; Museum of Natural History, Providence; Gallery Rocket, Tokyo. 

Her work is housed in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art and the Rhode Island School of Design Museum and has been published in the Bell Gallery's Building Expectation: Past and Present Visions of the Architectural Future, Anthony Alvarado's DIY Magic, Mathew Barney and Brandon Stousy's Tubal Cain, and in the art-poster anthology, the Art of Modern Rock.
