About The Artwork
Joy is inspired by the rich tradition of still-life paintings and photography throughout history, and curious to explore it in the contemporary world. For many years, Joy has predominately been a painter but with photography in her background she wanted to incorporate this medium into her painting practice. That said, a modern still life to Joy meant using the IPhone and some of the photography apps to create the photographic part of the piece. She sees the photo and the painting in dialogue with one another by the way the paint bleeds through the photograph or sits on top of the image. She also goes beyond the table of the still life, and in doing so, collages a layer of vintage wallpaper to the panel. Here, Joy is paying homage to interior design, whilst grounding the painting to the idea of home or studio.

My main brush is a power sander. It allows me to approach my landscapes in the matter in which I perceive them, which is a beautiful world of construction, stasis and deterioration and yet somehow polished and smooth. My paintings are an expression – a distillation – of the impressions made on my psyche by the landscapes around me, whether it be the prairies in which I grew up, the West coast of my adult years or the short time I spent in a large Eastern metropolis. My process is evident my art; it’s not something I try to hide, use and then discard, or disguise. The techniques and tools I employ – layers of pigment, sanding, scraping back, lettering – are there, exposed in the finished work. The text I use in my pieces is often found on, or inspired by the text visible on shipping containers, grain elevators, truck, trains; sometimes I use randomly chosen numbers or letters chosen purely for what they bring to the piece graphically or compositionally.
