Blurb:

Joyce Melander’s practice is rooted in a sensitivity to organic structure. Her work transforms wool, glass beads, textiles, and wood veneers into a rich, almost musical interplay of texture and rhythm. Living and working in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Melander draws upon the region’s vivid light and desert topography to inform her palette and spatial sensibility. Melander brings this inspiration into the studio not to duplicate the outside world, but rather to synthesise her surroundings and observations into something entirely new, without literal references. Through the interweaving of traditional craft and contemporary abstraction, she creates works that evoke the quiet order of things - each composition a study in the harmony, tension, and impermanence inherent to the natural world.
