Joyce Long's Colours in Motion, 2024
Blends watercolour drips with sewing elements like buttons and thread to capture a dance of colour and texture that echoes my memories of sewing with my mother. The fluidity of the watercolour drips embodies movement and change, as colours blend and evolve into new forms, reminiscent of the way our bond grew through shared activities. Buttons and threads stitched into the piece are symbols of the tactile learning and care she passed down to me, grounding the flowing colours in a personal narrative.
Each drip and mark adds to the sense of continuity and transformation, much like sewing stitches building upon each other. The contrast between soft, flowing watercolour and the sturdiness of sewing materials brings a layered texture that reflects the intricacies of memory and growth. This work speaks to the beauty in merging memories with materials, capturing the warmth and creativity of my mother’s influence.
