‘Journeys’, Ormskirk Gallery, Lancashire
March 23, 2012
‘Journeys’ features the work of fifteen artists across a range of media, all exploring the role of the journey in its broadest sense.
In her current ongoing series, ‘Perpetual Mapping’, Joanna explores the idea of ‘plotted routes’ that link place and time. Examining ideas of boundaries, junctions and intersections, where one thing may start, end, or overlap another, these pieces aim to document the internal mapping of thoughts, as well as external paths taken.
Joanna will be showing two textile wall pieces and a work on paper, which aims to plot the creative process as it unfolds.
‘Journeys’ opens 24th March and runs until 5th May 2012.

Airdrie Community Health Centre Commission
February 9, 2012
‘A Thread Runs Through It’ is a series of three large-scale works commissioned for a new health centre in Airdrie, Scotland and is part of a wider scheme involving illustrators, graphic designers and sculptors. The abstract compositions on linen draw on Airdrie’s past, reflecting aspects of paper-making, iron-casting, linen weaving and astronomy. Talks and workshops with local community groups will take place as part of the project. The textiles will be situated in the entrance and reception areas of the health centre, due to open to the public in June 2012.
