Research



Joanne’s research process gives space to pause, notice, and learn. These inquiries let her consider our place in a vast, shifting world, and inform a practice rooted in empathy and attention. Through them, she aims to deepen her understanding of land, material, and making.

Past research topics include dining rituals, Chinese ceramic traditions, life-cycle and carbon analysis, and the expressive potential of reclaimed matter.
