Artistic Practice & Philosophy Multi-disciplinary practice that includes artworks involving ! Print ! Site Specific Installation ! Photography ! New Media – Animation | Projection
Joanna’s practice does not accept the city as it is, but rather an artistic canvas awaiting exploration into the hidden potential with which it offers. Her practice is an attempt to engage the city user with their city; to awaken new and unforeseen perspectives, to reflect upon the conditions of our surroundings and invite us to negotiate the city, to experience it and to read its messages. In extending our vision beyond these conventions, not only can we comprehend the creative potential of the city, we are made more aware of the integral nature of representation and construction of our city spaces. By actualising the possibilities of our built environment, by becoming a participator, and not just a consumer, we can construct a second condition of reality, another way of exploring the spaces and forms around us.
