As an imaginative child in a rural village, in the Scottish Borders, with no street lighting, Janet was very aware of how dark the world was and how welcome the return of the full moon.
“At night it was full of dark shadows and recesses. Weather, torchlight, trees, country lanes and open countryside, things being out of place have provided sources for ideas. Janet’s mezzotint prints aim to capture feelings of “otherworldliness” of being “out of time” or “out of place”, an oddity and or a sense of unease.
Eastgate Studio has a revolving collection of Janet’s prints including mezzotint, reduction linocut and aquatint acid etching.
