Joyce Ho’s interdisciplinary practice ranges across painting, sculpture, installation, video, and performance. Her works focus on the daily rituals of life, deconstructing and fragmenting everyday gestures and movements. These artistic projects often envelop the viewer in a familiar yet strange world and destabilize our conventional views and modes of perception.


This series of intimate works render typically familiar and domestic objects unfamiliar, such as a ceiling light that recalls an emergency button and a series of shirts that are neatly folded and stacked. Many of her sculptures and installations, despite their cool and sleek forms, evoke the odd, the humorous, and the uneasy. Employing slight alterations in form, material, and function, Ho challenges our perceptions of how domestic objects shape our relationship to the spaces we inhabit.

An Artist Talk, 2021, was commissioned by Asia Society Museum, New York, for the inaugural Asia Society Triennial: We Do Not Dream Alone.
