Jane Andrews
Broadly, my work deals with character, identity and survival strategies; and is my attempt to understand, interpret and laugh at the complexities of life.
Surreal games and dark otherworldly visions from Jane Andrews, who purloins images of the everyday, skews them with disturbing social resonance and peoples them with grotesques and itinerants. Station of The Skirt is her latest body of work, a series of 12 paintings executed over a two-year period, using the skirt, with it's intimations of domestic restriction, as a starting point. --------------------------------------------------- The Independent, March 2010
