Joanne Lamb is an Irish artist based in London specialising in woven textiles to create one off artworks. Driven by the desire to connect with and preserve the beauty of nature, by tuning into the cycles and seasons she hopes to communicate what the planet has given us, and inspire a deeper appreciation of the natural world.

 

Following a successful career of fifteen years in textile design, Joanne is now refocusing her efforts onto hand-crafted objects. Having recently completed her Masters at the Royal College of Art, London, she is fascinated by the skill, imagination and knowledge of humans that have come before us to make beautiful objects with plants.

 

Through combining textile and basketry techniques together in her artworks, she has brought a unique textile language to expressive basketry. After creating a woven structure with tatami paper yarn using a mould, she then interlaces textural, natural yarns including wool, mohair and silk with tactile qualities to invite touch.

 

Her delicate baskets have been inspired by her impressions and memories of the landscape, combining natural materials and textile processes to create intimate yet evocative vessels. These artworks directly connect to Joanne’s experiences in nature, where colour and texture become tangible references to memory.

 

"I want my work to evoke a sense of being in nature, as if the vessels could be found amongst the flowers in a beautiful garden, before being placed on a mantlepiece to be treasured.”
