Joyce Lin
Artist and sculptural furniture maker Joyce Lin creates work that explores the connections between outer surfaces and the interior and the ongoing erosion of boundaries between our natural and artificial worlds, experimenting with a range of mediums including wood, fiberglass, plastics, paints, and found materials. Her cross-disciplinary interests led her to attend the Brown/RISD Dual Degree Program, where she studied Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design and Geology-Biology at Brown University. She has since exhibited in notable galleries and institutions such as R & Company in NYC, the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, and the Montreal Museum of Art, and has work included in various private and public collections such as the RISD Museum, The Mint Museum, Carnegie Museum, Houston Civic Arts Collection, and the New Orleans Museum of Art. In addition to her art practice, she served as woodworking instructor and woodshop manager at Houston’s TXRX Labs makerspace for several years, and has also taught at RISD. Lin currently lives and works in Houston, TX.
