Earthly Bodies

Catalogue Published April 2024

Janet’s delicate ceramic sculptures are marked by fine exposed openings that point towards emptiness, offering miniature perspectives into abyssal dark space that seek empathy for those displaced. These pieces can be considered as sculpting a tangible presence of absence, they are reminiscent of caves or arthropod shells and evoke a sense of shelter or journey with no clear ending.

Janet studied ceramics at West Surrey College of Art and Design, graduating in 1978.  In 2017 Janet returned to education to undertake a research-based MA in Ceramics at UCA, Farnham, UK. Since graduating with distinction in 2020 she has exhibited in Stoke on Trent, London, and in Athens, Greece where she now lives and works.
