Local Artist Melissa Joseph's New Small Gallery Show

Melissa Joseph is a Brooklyn-based artist who previously worked as a high school art teacher and textile designer. Her new show, Irish Exit, displays new work inspired by photographs of her family to explore her own identity (Joseph's mother is American of Irish descent and her father is from India). Irish Exit features felt, ceramics, and paper pulp pieces, and is on view at Margot Samel in Tribeca through November 22. Joseph joins us in studio to discuss the show and her practice.
