Joyce Fontanilla

Settling, Listening, Growing

The collection is inspired by the abstractions, hard-edged patterns and undulating lines characterized in Anni Albers’ work at Bauhaus. Incorporating play and experimentation within the limitations of minimal shapes and lines. The work aims to build up patterns and complexity as a means of creating geometric harmony.
