Joan Hall
American, Born
Lives and works in St. Louis, Missouri.
Joan Hall's uses nautical themes and imagery to interpret experiences with the body and the environment. Ms. Hall writes, "Memory of and documentation on and around the ocean of being damaged, trapped, and insignificant are used symbolically to represent thoughts and feelings about individual and collective experiences in relationship to the body and the environment."
With her recent work Ms. Hall alludes to the sea and its power. She is also interested in the correlation between digital imagery and memory because, "Digital imaging functions much like memory in that the fragmented images can change indefinitely. Documented images from the past are being used to symbolize current experiences." The ebb and flow of the ocean combined with the layering of memory and images inform Hall's large mixed media paintings.
