Glass Objects

About the Artist

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, including June Kelly Gallery, New York; Salon de Mars, Paris, France; the Tennessee State Museum, Nashville; Aaron Payne Fine Art, Santa Fe, and many others.
