Artist Statement
The collages that I created on the theme “Imagine Your Dreams” reflect my childhood dreams. Sometimes magical, adventurous but often frightening. Those dreams began in a nice, friendly atmosphere but gradually turned into strange, absurd and frightening events. My unconscious mind connected the normal and ordinary to the surreal and bizarre. I tried to visualize these extremes into this work.


Bio
Joyce was born in 1954 in Breda in the Netherlands. Her first encounter with art was an exhibition in Rotterdam in 1970, 16 years old, with the work of Salvador Dali. Ever since she loves surrealistic art. Over the last years she rediscovered her interest for modern and contemporary art. Currently she is exploring her own creativity and started to create collages in 2015. She lives in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands with her husband.
