Joia is a ceramic artist based in Fremantle/Walyalup. Self-taught and intuitively led, her practice has become a deeply grounding process. Drawing from natural textures, botanical forms and everyday rituals, her approach to clay is both tactile and intentional.
Each piece is shaped slowly and carved by hand, allowing texture and form to emerge through repetition and touch. The surfaces hold depth and shadow, and light moves across them differently throughout the day. She is currently exploring lighting and wall sculpture, drawn to the spatial possibilities of clay and how light interacts with surface and form.
Joia's vessels sit in the space between presence and use. At times they hold flowers or rituals. At other times they remain unfilled, carrying their own sense of weight and stillness. Rooted in an instinct to gather and place, the work honours the quiet gestures that bring meaning to everyday life. These objects become steady points within a room, encouraging pause, presence and appreciation for the things we choose to live with.
