Biography:

Joy Episalla is an interdisciplinary artist whose work repositions the dynamics of photographic and moving image practices into the territory of sculpture. They engage a queer/feminist perspective to create open-ended situations that prompt the viewer to slow down and take in the moment — in all its complexity and seeming contradictions.
