An interdisciplinary visual artist, Joseph\u2019s mediums include oil, encaustic wax, epoxy resin, and film. His art is currently represented by multiple galleries and exhibitions along the east coast, his films have won awards on the indie circuit, procured distribution, and have screened at many film festivals.

After earning his BFA in Visual Art and Design from Mason Gross School of Art at Rutgers University, he began his career as an architectural designer and 3D illustrator.

Artist Statement<\/u><\/strong><\/p>

I\u2019m interested in exploring the human body as the site of psychic state and emotional betrayal. Working in encaustic wax- a medium I choose for its resistance and physicality- I build forms through a process of accumulation and excavation. Layers are built up, fused, and scraped back– a cycle of accretion and dissolution that produces a state of simultaneous emergence and collapse of the human body. The surface affects a source of tension between representation and abstraction, control and surrender, meaning and chaos.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
