“Space junk” which from afar resembles tiny paint specks, are debris left over by humans satellites that are now trapped into the universe. The debris have different scales depending on the point of view.
The shapes were inspired by the forms of actual debris, the paint specks laser cut on each shape represent the perception of space junk in the universe. The sculpture plays with lights and shadows to disorient the viewer.
DEBRIS
These works focus on debris accumulated on a surface.
The wood was carved to create the dimensional effect of the paint. It challenges the traditional ways of painting
The carving is very delicate in order to almost be perceived as a thin layer of paint. When looking closer at the carved areas, the wood grain becomes visible and creates a beautiful natural dynamic.

These works are inspired by the duality between dark and light alluding to an eclipse. Saber’s beads is the broken arc of illumination surrounding the moon. The gold has been carved with a laser cutter to be damaged and broken. They are references to the relationship between nature and humanity.

French-American Visual Artist Joyce Billet Launches Independent Studio and Project Space to Encourage Arts Engagement in Miami
Artist-Run Studio Fosters Community Connection and Creative Exchange With an Open Space for Public Exhibitions
French-American visual artist Joyce Billet announces the opening of her first studio and project space centrally located between the Miami Design District and Little River. The multi-use studio is independently operated by the artist, and integrates painting, sculpture, fabrication, and exhibition.
Joyce Billet Studio serves as an indoor and outdoor venue for exhibitions, events, workshops, and studio visits. The fabrication shop offers collectors and the public an opportunity to view Billet’s artistic process firsthand, engage one-on-one with the artist, and follow the journey of each piece from start to finish. The adjoining space—The Project Room at JB Studio—is a flexible artist-run initiative for rotating exhibitions and workshop programs that is open to the public. Together, these spaces foster community engagement and conversation around Billet’s work and other multidisciplinary contemporary artists—all in the heart of Miami’s flourishing arts district.
“Community is at the heart of my work. Connecting with other artists and creatives is essential, something I experienced both at the Fountainhead studios and during my residency in the Miami Design District, where open studios allowed me to share my projects, process, and work with the public,” said Billet.
