Joyce Lin

Joyce Lin is an artist and sculptural furniture designer who experiments with a diverse range of materials to create works that explore the connections between outer surfaces and the interior and the ongoing erosion of boundaries between the natural and the man-made.

Originally from Birmingham, AL, Lin pursued her cross-disciplinary interests through the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program, studying Furniture Design at RISD and Geology-Biology at Brown University. She has since exhibited in notable galleries and institutions such as R & Company in NYC, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft.

Her pieces are held in numerous private and public collections including the RISD Museum, The Mint Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, Munson Museum of Art, Houston Civic Arts Collection, New Orleans Museum of Art and SFMOMA. Her practice has been featured in publications including The New York Times, The Architect’s Newspaper, Dwell, Paper City Magazine, Objects: USA 2020 and Objects: USA 2024.

Today, Lin’s studio is based in Houston, TX, where she produces new work at the East End Maker Hub.
