Artist in Residence: Janet Parker-Smith
Janet Parker-Smith's artwork is rich in the processes of printmaking, including screenprint, etching and relief printing. She uses these processes to make unconventional hybrid works in the field of expanded print. The print works are often reproduced onto papers, fabrics and different soft substrates that are then sewn into wall-hangings and banners that are then embroidered onto. The works reference relationships, memory and the changing environment.
During her residency Janet will continue working with processes, imagery and mediums of familiarity to produce a new body of work based on text and image experimenting with the introduction of hand-made paper forms in juxtaposition with embroidered pieces.
