“My goal is to create work that is beautiful, imaginative and inspiring. Ceramics became a part of my life during a difficult period and this was a fertile time for experimentation, for trial and error. It is through this time that I found my way forward.”
“My work with clay has taught me patience and persistence; it never fails to energize me. I’ve learned over the years that I can rely on my imagination as a never-ending source of creativity. All I have to do is strive for perfection in every piece, as I know that the sky is the limit.
I look forward to continuing to learn, explore and invoke beauty through my work.
His work in ceramics, which is widely recognized both locally and internationally, as well as Joseph himself, can be spotted on a regular basis at the Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver, Canada.
In 2013, Joseph took a leap of faith and took time to develop his line of metal sculptures which explore the theme of love. These works form part of Joseph’s vision of one day establishing a sculpture garden or a permanent outdoor park that could be visited by people from all over the world.
Joseph’s Line of Love jewellery collection originated from his work on larger sculptural designs and was inspired by the idea that these much smaller pieces can be exchanged as gifts of love, from one person to another.
