About
Joanna holds an MA from Central Saint Martins (London) and a BA in Design from Beckmans College of Design (Stockholm). Her projects often incorporate sustainable materials and natural dyes, and her recent project, Colour Alchemy, develops botanical inks from seawater and plants, promoting environmentally conscious art practices. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities, Stockholm and Manggha Museum of Japanese Art and Technology, Krakow.
Currently, Joanna is focused on Inner Artist Recovery, an initiative that promotes emotional well-being through the healing power of art and colour. Based on the latest neuroscience findings, this project offers workshops and writing to introduce people to the therapeutic benefits of creative expression.
In addition, Joanna has embraced AI as an artistic tool, using it in projects like Kimono Reconstruction, presented at the Bandung International Conference for Cultural Studies 2024. This project blends traditional art forms with cutting-edge technology to push the boundaries of creative practice.
Privately, Joanna has a passion for travel and is deeply interested in indigenous ritual clothing and the use of colour in traditional cultures. She is currently travelling through Indonesia and living in Bali, where the rich local heritage and vibrant colours serve as a constant source of inspiration for her work.
"I am fascinated by the process.. Process, not the outcome, allows me to express the various different aspects of existence and creativity in the moment.
I work under the spell of a life long obsession and thirst for colour.. tints and shades.. as well as the ever growing fascination with the transformative abilities hidden in the act of "art making."
