Joy Episalla works in the interstices between photography, video and sculpture. Her work focuses on the wealth of
information that mundane architecture or an object can provide. Like a forensic examiner or palm reader, she considers
the cracks and stains inscribed on the 'surface' the secret histories of places and things. Working serially and intervening
in the image as editor, Episalla spies, observes and sometimes re-arrangestakes the image apart and rebuilds it manipulating
the recorded moment.
