JoanneHall_profile.jpg

An Irish artist, Joanne moved to Scotland in 2014 where she studied Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, achieving her BA(Hons) degree in 2017, continuing
on to achieve an MFA degree in Art and Humanities in 2018.

Her practice is a multidisciplinary one, with materiality playing an important role in her working process. With a particular emphasis on geological phenomena and movements, she creates work that focuses on uncertainty and the process of discovery.

​

My practice focuses on the interrelationship between humanity and the natural world, ranging from local and environmental scales, to considerations about the wider Universe. Influenced by philosophical and scientific thought, research-led investigations often form a core basis for my work. Through investigations into the act of looking, as well as the ever-shifting nature of our perceptions, I create work that focuses on uncertainty, and the process of discovery. With a particular emphasis on geological phenomena and movements, my work investigates the relationships between materiality and force. My practice is a multidisciplinary one, incorporating sculpture, photography,

and printmaking. Materials play an important role in my working process, and through experimentation with material combinations, I am in a consistent process of investigating the space between knowing and being, where the physical world meets our interpretation of it.
