Joan Harmon

Joan Harmon works in ceramics, installation, sculpture and drawing.

“I work with hybrids, seeking to capture transformations that occur when two unrelated forms combine and produce something new. In sculpture, as in poetry, the function of the real and the unreal are made to cooperate, creating a new reality.  I work with diverse materials like clay, fire, glass, and charcoal, often incorporating light and sound to create sensory experiences that are at once universal and intimate; relying upon qualities of our human experience like memory and dream.”

Harmon earned her BA from the California College of Art and MFA from Rutgers University. Her work has recently been shown at the Epperson Gallery of Ceramic Arts, the Loveland Museum Gallery, Richmond Art Center, the Lewis Art Gallery, Millsaps College, and at the Governors Island Art Fair, NYC, among others. She currently teaches at the City University of New York and has her studio and home in the Lower Hudson Valley.
