About Joy
A long time studio member at designermakers21, Joy is a talented mosaic artist, creating intricate designs in her collection of platters, tables and wall panels.
“I have been struck by the appropriateness of mosaic as a medium to express my creativity; indeed I see my life up to this point as a mosaic of different disciplines and experiences, all of which play a part in my design process.
Walking in the countryside I enjoy the profusion of shapes and colours which aggregate into beautiful, complex patterns. With my mosaics I am trying to capture the fluid nature of these patterns using hard unyielding pieces of ceramic and glass. I aim to convey the excitement and thrill found in the explosion of diversity where edges meet, while still maintaining the calm completeness of the whole.”
