'I have been thinking about what it is that attracts my attention... A moment when the arc of the sun illuminates the form and colour of things previously unseen. These dazzling spotlights and deep shade, light and dark, heat and cool, in abundance this summer, are the inspiration for the 'Hot Border' paintings, based on views of our Suffolk garden. Recollections from a Japanese pool of infinite depths and mystery are the subject of the 'Surfacing' series. Here different sensations are created by the filtered pinpricks of sun, the shimmer and flick of the light on water, reflections appearing and dissolving as unseen underground springs agitate the surface, illusions of layers and depth...transience'. Jane Human October 2026.
"A garden, like a poem, is a curated composition - and in this collection of paintings I've been considering the domestic spaces that become places of sanctuary and contemplation. A refuge to watch the birds flitting from branch to bush, to enjoy the dappled shade on a sunny day and watch the moon rise through the branches - the restorative healing of green spaces and bird song is both simple and extraordinary. These modest unwieldy secluded spaces that follow the natural rhythm of the seasons and the resulting paintings of them, feel like poems - structured and organic, practical and magical, offering a gentle space for stillness, memory, and hope."
