Jane Ward
Jane Ward graduated from the Royal College of Art, MA Printmaking course in 2007. Her work has featured in Artsfutures (2002) Bloomberg New Contemporaries (2008) and she has been awarded the Terrence Conran Foundation Award and the Tim Mara Prize. Her practice bridges both photography and painting - her highly constructed images describing a world in transition. She presents competing and contradictory vantage points, layering of copious imagery and colour saturation. By hand, Ward applies chemicals to the canvas onto which these digital images are printed in order to strip away and dissolve pictorial details. The processes enact a sort of internecine battle between masking and revelation, ‘creating’ what Ward has described as a ‘reordering that leads us to question the layering of memory with landscape’.

One off digital print on canvas, Hand dissolved ink
Jane Ward’s meticulously constructed works employ digital photographs that have been repeatedly broken down and collaged, creating images of fragmentary, imaginary and transient landscapes. Having printed her photographs directly onto the canvas, the artist dissolves the ink by hand manipulating the image and leaving traces of earlier forms behind.
