Joan began a new series of mainly
abstract work in the late 1960s which continued for thirty years.
These works were based on a concept which has since been described as "the tension between 'natural' and 'contrived' beauty."* Letter from the Rector of the Royal College, Professor Sir Christopher Frayling.
