Marie Joy

Marie Joy is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice explores the emotional and psychological landscapes of the human experience through glass. Drawing on her background in drawing, neurographic art, and an enduring fascination with nature, Marie brings an intuitive, expressive quality to her work. Her current focus lies in kiln-formed and cold-worked glass, using layering, texture, and colour to evoke movement, memory, and emotion. Having spent 15 years immersed in the natural beauty of France, Marie developed a sensitivity to light, colour, and organic form—elements that now underpin her visual language. Her work often integrates techniques such as kiln pressing, sandblasting, and fusing, resulting in tactile surfaces and layered compositions. She views glass not only as a material but as a medium for storytelling—transforming fragility into strength, and transparency into reflection. Marie is currently completing a BA in Design Crafts, with plans to continue exploring the expressive potential of glass in future postgraduate study.

This body of work explores the emotional resonance of colour through kiln-pressed glass, translating the fluid line work of 2D neurographic art into a tactile, three-dimensional form. Each piece investigates how form, texture, and palette can reflect the psychological and emotional fluctuations we experience throughout life.

By layering transparent and opalescent glass in the kiln, painterly surfaces emerge—evoking a sense of inner movement and depth. Colour plays a central role, with hues chosen to symbolise emotional states, from turbulence and intensity to calm and renewal.

Sandblasted, flowing lines curve across the surface, echoing the non-linear paths we navigate as human beings. These etched marks symbolise both disruption and continuity, referencing the subconscious patterns found in neurographic drawing.

The resulting works are intimate and reflective—inviting the viewer to explore their own internal landscape and consider the quiet strength found in emotional vulnerability and transformation.
