Joyce Long's Reviving, 2024
In this piece, I combine soil and dead plants on the canvas, giving these natural remnants a new sense of purpose and beauty. Painted over with vibrant colours from a limited palette, the work captures a softness and warmth that contrasts with the raw textures of earth and plant matter beneath. This interplay between rough, organic materials and smooth, blended colours reflects a harmonious fusion, emphasising how beauty can be drawn from unexpected sources.
Each stroke of colour is carefully chosen to bring out the delicate grace hidden within these discarded elements, creating a sense of reverence for nature’s cycles of life and decay. This work speaks to the power of transformation, illustrating how, through mindful attention, the ordinary or forgotten can be revitalised. It’s a reminder to look beyond appearances and appreciate the potential for beauty in all things, including the smallest, most overlooked pieces of the natural world.
