Explore the latest works of Joyce Billet at the opening reception of her exhibit Woven on Tuesday, December 3, at 35 NE 40th Street in the Miami Design District. This Miami Art Week event highlights the French-American artist’s innovative approach to merging craft, nature and technology.
The exhibition showcases new monumental works and installations, with a centerpiece outdoor sculpture titled Woven. Created in collaboration with Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, this piece incorporates living orchids into sculpted plywood, reflecting Billet’s exploration of how humanity can coexist harmoniously with nature while embracing industrial materials and processes.
Rooted in a strong craft tradition and inspired by her Parisian upbringing, Billet challenges the conventional use of plywood, transforming it into a medium for artistic expression.
