On view at StateoftheART Gallery, 61 Shortmarket St, Cape Town.

This work was created as result of being a participating artist in the regional Koekenaap Artist Workshop in the Western Cape, in 2011. The work is inspired by the open landscape, trees, gravel roads, and farm houses of the area. All the photos used to create this work was taken in and around Koekenaap, Lutzville and Doringbaai. As part of the Nuances series, "Koekenaap" also comments on how the earthly and rural lifestyles of the people in the area is more in harmony with nature than urban and suburban lifestyles, and that it is this way of life is endangered by the effects of global warming due to pollution and industrial activity - water in areas like the Karoo, West Coast and Kalahari will become even more scarce than it already is.

Selected for online exhibition "Re:Location" curated by Vivien Kohler.

Janet's work is predominantly inspired by the natural world and personal experiences. Most of her previous work and projects explored the landscape in its different forms and contexts – predominantly focusing on human interaction or relationship to it. Through her work she wants to inspire and help people reconnect, appreciate and respect nature - outside and within themselves. Genres and media of her artworks include Land Art, Drawing, Mixed Media Painting, Photography and Sculpture. "I love things that symbolize, express or honor the rhythms, seasons and cycles of nature. I believe that energy connects us within space and time to each other, the planet and everything in, on and around it. Art has the ability to strengthen these energy connections and I hope that my art and creative workshops strengthens the connection between people, nature and the creativity inherent in everyone."
