Joyce Long's Sparks with reflection, 2024
This artwork draws on the vibrant, carefree spirit of childhood birthdays, using textile elements to recreate the textures and colours that defined those celebrations. Brightly coloured cellophane and crepe paper are layered and arranged to mimic the joyful decorations that adorned the parties of my youth, each piece recalling the tactile excitement of wrapping presents, hanging streamers, and setting up balloons.
The shimmering transparency of cellophane adds a playful lightness. These materials evoke an atmosphere of festivity and wonder, transforming the canvas into a scene filled with the innocence and delight of youthful celebrations. The work is a nostalgic tribute to the simple joys of gathering, celebrating, and making memories, inviting viewers to reconnect with those timeless, happy moments that leave a lasting mark on us all.
