Artist statement
Johana has a background in sculpture and has maintained a fascination with form, sometimes applying that to video and drawing. Graduating in 2001 from the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff she has exhibited widely, most recently at Motorcade FlashParade in Bristol. Johana is particularly interested in the humanity present in the inanimate and her work feeds from intuitive, emotive responses to environmental quirks, sensual objects, obsessional patterns, anthropomorphism and humour.
