ABOUT THE ARTIST
Aimee Joyaux’s work is grounded in a visceral response to current events, be they personal, political, cultural, or imagined. The creative process helps Joyaux examine contradiction and bias--sometimes through formal relationships, and sometimes through literal juxtapositions. By situating a personal experience within a grand narrative through language, iconography, and gestural fields of color, she engages with cultural memory to explore ideas of power and place. Exhibitions include The National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Center for Book and Paper at Columbia College, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Indianapolis Museum of Art, the Center for Book Arts (NY), and Nexus Press in Atlanta. Examples of my work are held in the collections of The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The Center for Book and Paper at Columbia College, Indiana University East, Penland School of Crafts, and locally at Dominion, Capital One, The Quirk Hotel, and Try-Me.
