Joanne Pemberton works in print and sculpture to map geological discoveries and encounters within the city, landscape, archive and print studio.

Her work is derived from a fascination with the repeated cycles and transformative processes that happen within rocks and fossils.

She is interested in making the invisible visible and attempting to capture the uncontainable nature of earth.

Examining her relationship with geology in different contexts has led to personal revelations of how interactions with materials and objects can help us comprehend our place within deep time.

Joanne Graduated from Glasgow School of Art Masters programme in 2022 and has recently spent the summer studying at Tamarind Institute for Lithography.
