Joy McCoola | Joy Woolworks

Joy Muller-McCoola works with wool using the ancient process of wet felting. The sculptural possibilities of wool, its capacity to become fabric and form simultaneously, and its tactile properties are a draw of the medium.

Joy grew up near the Atlantic Ocean, which created an intense love and respect for water. Her work is influenced by environmental issues including flooding, aridification, and algal bloom. Several of her pieces tour as part of Wool & Water, a traveling group of fiber pieces that bring attention to water issues in the Adirondacks. To balance this focus, Joy creates whimsical hats and meditation stones.

 She has shown at The Hyde Collection, Schweinfurth Art Center, Albany Center Gallery, Worcester Center for Crafts, View Center for Arts and Culture, Lake Placid Center for the Arts and more.
