About Janice
FOR THE LAST 7 YEARS I HAVE BEEN EXPERIMENTING AND EXHIBITING WORK USING UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS, SUCH AS PLASTICS, POLYTHENES AND PLASTIC TUBING, ALL OF WHICH I COLOUR, SOME OF WHICH I FUSE.
I ALSO USE RUBBER, METALS, WIRE AND FOUND ITEMS OF PLASTIC. HAND STITCHING IS GENERALLY WORKED WITH FISHING LINE, WIRE OR STRIPS OF POLYTHENE, AND I USE A COMPUTERISED SEWING MACHINE FOR OTHER DETAIL. RECYCLED MATERIALS FEATURE STRONGLY AND I DELIGHT IN USING PLASTIC ITEMS THAT OTHERS DISCARD OR DISREGARD.
IN DESIGN, I LIKE TO COMBINE AN ELEMENT OF THE ABSTRACT ALONG WITH THE RECOGNISABLE, SO THAT A HINT OF THE STORY BEHIND THE PIECE IS THERE TO SEE.
