Janis Goodman
Artists statement:
I am a printmaker and have been working professionally for over fifteen years creating etchings and aquatints, which reflect both my architectural training and my love of both the inner city and familiar parts of the countryside - places where I walk or visit friends. My prints are preoccupied with the repetitive patterns formed by roofs, windows and chimney pots and how they contrast with the organic forms of plants and birds. The work is both detailed and atmospheric using line and aquatint to give tone and shading to the prints. The uniformity of brick terraced buildings are broken up with the existence of people living in the city and is shown through details like lines of washing hung out to dry, gardens or window boxes growing food and flowers. I am attracted to the unusual in the midst of the repetitive and everyday; details which may amuse, enthrall or simply make me look again. I try to avoid sentimentality but focus on the quirky and the irregular.
We hope you can come join us and Janis for an evening of informal discussion and learn a bit about Janis and her wonderful work.
