There’s also a visual nod to the Dutch still-life movement, which interrogated and blurred the lines between scientific accuracy, beauty, and the supernatural. Subjects were placed on a pedestal and often bathed in light, separating them from reality and creating a sense of fantasy. Adopting a fresh take on this aesthetic, in her latest work Joanna seeks to reinforce the authenticity of these imagined scenarios. Although highly unlikely in the most literal sense, they are still completely believable.

Process is key for her and she enjoys mixing both traditional and contemporary techniques, always through a monochrome lens. She photograms hundreds of flowers to find one that unlocks an idea, and then sets to work redrawing, editing and digitally manipulating to create an entirely new form. Once complete, the image is transferred to silk screen and the final print is pulled by hand.
