By placing the concept of ‘Biophilia’ and scientific evidence supporting the benefits of green exercise alongside personal responses valuing psychological immersion within landscape Jane has developed a practice creating collages and hangings using dyed silk, mixed media and found objects, both natural and man made.

Direct contact with the land is illustrated through a variety of techniques: texture rubbings and prints, natural dyeing, eco printing and rust marking on silk, a fabric used to denote preciousness. Manmade rubbish weathered by the elements and collected whilst walking are utilised alongside natural found objects, tokens of a place visited. Recurring motifs are used throughout Jane’s work, the golden suture representing improving health and emotional fortitude, concentric circles and holes/portals signifying movement through space whilst also acting as a sanctuary.
