Uncanny Objects by Joyce Lin Blur Distinctions Between Reality and the Fantastical
Briefly

Joyce Lin's art delves into themes of interconnectedness and the Anthropocene, using sculptures that meld organic materials with synthetic mediums. Her works, resembling furniture and food, provoke thought on mass production and consumption. Lin enjoys dissecting objects, particularly chairs, to reveal inner truths, leading to pieces that challenge perceptions of reality. As she prepares for a solo exhibition, her creations raise awareness about industrialized society’s paradoxes, inviting viewers to reconsider their understanding of the objects around them and the labor behind them.
"I am both disturbed and captivated by the paradoxes of industrialized society, where modes of production and disposal are often obscured to the public."
"I love to dissect and understand things, and my works often feature objects-usually a chair-sliced open to expose an inner structure; to express an inner truth, so to speak."
