About the Artist
Parel Joy is an artist, printmaker and writer. Their work often centres around themes of feeling at home: on this planet, in a house or a country, with a person, in a body. Memory, sense of belonging and otherness are often part of these explorations. Parel combines different printmaking techniques, media and languages, and loves the medium of print for its tangibility and focus, as an escape from fast-paced content and media.
Parel’s work was previously published in Blacklist Journal, Hysteria Zine and The Gaudie, and their zine I Dreamt I Was Kissing a Stranger is currently for sale at Good Press, Glasgow. Their work was recently on show in De Wintertuin, Antwerp, as part of the Anonymous Printmakers’ Unseen World exhibition. Parel lived in Aberdeen until 2021, before relocating to Belgium, where they now study and work. Their debut poetry pamphlet The Queen of Cups and Other Poems is due to be published with SPAM Publishers this summer. Concrete Botany is their first artwork of this scale.
