Joyce Long's Soft as velvet child, 2024
This piece uses the playful colours and textures of crepe paper to recreate the vibrant decorations that marked my childhood birthdays. The soft crepe embodies the spirit of celebration, capturing the innocent joy and excitement of those early years. These materials, so often found in party settings, bring an element of authenticity to the work, letting viewers experience the textures and brightness of these memories firsthand.
The layering of crepe echoes the feeling of setting up decorations, anticipating a joyful gathering with loved ones. Each layer and colour is chosen to reflect the happiness of simple celebrations that brought so much meaning and connection. Through this textile approach, I relive the excitement of youth and remember the beauty of shared moments and cherished memories that continue to resonate throughout our lives.
