Joyce Long's Merging as it goes, 2024
I explore the fluidity and energy of colour, using watercolours in a dynamic interplay of drips and mark-making. The colours move and blend on the canvas, capturing a sense of motion and interaction. I incorporate sewing elements like buttons and threads, adding texture and a tactile dimension that links back to memories of learning to sew with my mother.
Each drip and mark recalls the small, intricate steps in sewing—a reminder of patience and the beauty of gradual transformation. The threads and buttons bring these memories to life, resonating with my childhood fascination as my mother guided me in threading needles and piecing fabric. By combining the flow of watercolour with these tangible materials, I connect past and present, allowing the movement of colour to embody the cherished memories of my mother’s teachings and the warmth of our shared creative moments.
