Joyce Nojima is a second-generation Japanese American born and raised in Santa Rosa, California. Nojima’s work exposes the beauty in the destruction of her materials. By puncturing, disfiguring, welding, and drawing with a heated iron rod, Nojima’s marks reveal volume through manipulation. Tentative gestures are interrupted by thick yet translucent scars. These marks echo the dichotomy between rhythm and atonality, thoughtfulness and impetuousness.
