The images displayed here on Jane’s website were chosen to reflect the values of Wales’ most advanced political and cultural change: The Wellbeing of Future Generations (Wales) Act of 2015. The images visually connect with themes established in #futuregen her new book, presented here is our visual arts practice seen through the lens of the exciting new Act.
Leaving Art School in 1979 and throughout our professional careers, we have been lucky to be exposed to a wide range of influences and some amazing individuals, like the great German artist Joseph Beuys, whose works with nature, folklore and Germany’s recovery after World War II helped us understand the primacy an artist’s role can play in society: their social agency. Another influence on us, was the work of UK’s Artist Placement Group (APG).
