JOEY. Spl,
BIO

I am an artist, co-founder of Artists Caravan, and an experience-activator—creating immersive encounters that invite audiences to engage, discover, and be transformed. While sculptural practice is my foundation, my approach is fluid, weaving together multiple mediums to craft narratives and awaken experiences.

​

My artistic focus is on sculptural installations, which have evolved from early explorations in metal and concrete to include mixed media, light projections, and interactive and 2D components. My work spans sculpture, installations, interactive components, sonic poetry, zines, and beyond, each piece serving as an invitation to find wonder and enchantment in the everyday.

​

I embrace ‘serendipitous curiosity’—a concept that drives my practice—through playful compositions and intricate, often whimsical designs. These works encourage audiences to pause, explore, and immerse themselves in sensory and somatic impressions that spark shifts in perception. Inspired by Alfred North Whitehead’s and Erin Manning’s concept of an ‘event,’ my pieces invite sensory engagement by reshaping the connections between bodies, sensory experiences, and environments.

​

I believe that art is not just to be seen but to be felt, inhabited, and activated. By designing spaces and experiences that provoke engagement—whether through sound, touch, movement, or interaction—I create portals where new dialogues can emerge. My practice invites people into moments of discovery, where boundaries between art, environment, and audience blur, allowing meaning to unfold organically. Through surreal and esoteric themes, I delve into the nuances of everyday life, revealing the unseen and the poetic within the ordinary.
