JOY YAMUSANGIE & QUEERCIRCLE
IN CONVERSATION -
QUEERCIRCLE: You’ve gained a worthy following over the last few years, but how did you get to this point? Where did your artistic journey begin?
Joy: When I was in college I started a Tumblr. I didn’t really know what I was doing but with Tumblr you easily find your community and like minded people through shared interests. I followed hundreds of artists there and felt inspired to start using my page to share my work and document my drawings throughout school. As I moved on to university, I felt like I was a part of something online and enjoyed seeing, sharing and connecting with other artists. It has given me confidence in my own work and pursuing this career full time.
QUEERCIRCLE: You’ve developed a very recognisable aesthetic very early on in your artistic journey. What (if any) is the significance of your colour palette and the materials you use?
Joy: I had quite a difficult time in university and it reflected in my work, I almost exclusively worked in black or white only. Coming out on the other side of university, building back my self-esteem and starting to connect and have new exciting experiences. I wanted to use as much colour as possible in my work and reflect feeling through reds, yellows and blues.
