 "And our ghosts smell of wet earth and honey."

"Imbued with action, each figure is comprised of layers of the living world that are derived from both the opened flowers and the powerful bodily poses"

is a self-taught photographic artist primarily focused on digital collage. Joy combines fragments of the natural sciences with her narratives and allegories, often weaving in symbols and motifs from art history to create a new surreal vision.

 

She fabricates this staged imagery from the ground up, growing most of her subject matter in her garden and documenting its growth, beauty, and decay. Each piece is created by assembling thousands of individual photographs of botanicals, insects, and other wildlife, resulting in a final image that is bursting with life and layered with hidden details and anecdotes. 


She lives and works in Seattle, WA 

Just plants, no AI.

I recognize that I created my artwork within the Unceded Coast Salish Territories of the Duwamish People.
