Joyce Camilleri's artistic practice explores the interplay between tangible and intangible place, physical and metaphysical space. Through printmaking and painting practices, she revisits spatial constructs using material and medium to bring about a visual dialogue that questions familiar modes of perception. Her work interrogates how place imbues space with meaning—a barren landscape becomes a vessel for memory and cultural resonance. Conversely, space gives structure to place, shaping environments that fluctuate between openness and intimate constraint. This tension is central to a process, where printmaking acts as a conduit for translating personal spatial experiences. Memories of place shift and reassemble, evolving into reconstructed spaces layered with personal and collective meaning. Experimental printmaking methods, with their delicate translucency and ability to build nuanced layers, supports this conceptual fluidity.
