Joyce Melander is an artist fascinated by the constructed object. Using a variety of processes such as weaving, crochet, embroidery and sewing, the artist’s intricately assembled sculptures carry traditional craft methods into the context of fine art. She incorporates a wide array of materials in her work, bringing wool, glass beads, textiles and wood veneers into a rich, almost musical, interplay of texture and rhythm. Her work is held in numerous public collections throughout the country, and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and institutions.
