1st—14th January 2020
Preamble. . .
For the first two weeks of 2021, we have had the pleasure of hosting Jane Elizabeth Bennett on our residency platform! Bennett’s work has unfolded, or rather been folded into a series of experimental, paper-based works through which she has explored brining new life to old pieces by re-working them. Bennett has given us insight into her practical learning process, which she describes as ‘play’ - a fundamental in all artist’s practices.
Bennett’s residency has resulted in the start of a series of artist books, which I will personally be continuing to look out for in the coming months!
Skye Williams (Founder & Head Curator)
‘Artist Jane Elizabeth Bennett’s practice is an examination of the world in which she finds her self. To her, existence is filled with systems of discontinuity. Meaning that memories fade, language is inadequate and places continually fracture and reform. Through printmaking, photography, installation and detailed research, she attempts to address and potentially resolve these issues of discontinuity. Her transdisciplinary approach incorporates philosophical, scientific and artistic research to create engaged projects and exhibitions.’
