Work
Inspired by her passion for childhood memories and memoires, fairy tales, Russia and Eastern Europe, forests and wolves and her continuing interest in WWII Jane makes complex drawings with colour or black, red, blue and green Biros. Often using photographs she has taken of films and documentaries as well as objects from her own home as the basis for pieces she builds layers of images in colour biro as if film stills were projected on top of one another resulting in colourful abstracted pieces with an ethereal quality.
Her aim is to make drawings of beauty that on closer inspection provoke consideration of loss whether it is lost eras or loss from war and disaster, prompting empathy for the emotional and physical scars experienced by humans, animals and the environment. Her ‘fairytale-esque’ drawings transport the viewer to far-away places and exigent times just as tales of old have transported innumerable generations.
