Joanna's work is comprised of both large and small-scale drawings and paintings that strive to create a sense of tension and unease amidst images of beauty and pleasure. It aims to challenge the viewer with their own biases as to what they find socially acceptable regarding the stigma around a woman's right to express her own sexuality. Materials play a significant role in the work. The pieces are composed using conceptually relevant alternative materials such as steel, plexiglass and florescent light casings. Reflective surfaces lend themselves to the voyeuristic nature of the artwork, allowing the viewer to literally see themselves in the piece.
