Artist Statement & General Tear Sheet artist statement METHODOLOGY: Janus' drawn paintings, sculptures and installations are widely exhibited. Janus' visiting artist workshops, symposiums and courses initiate creative discourses between artist and community.
CONNECTION: Janus often uses interactive art as a method to create visual and conceptual art. Through this interaction creative thinking and tactile response allows participants to yield opinions, which evokes a tolerance for different experiences and ideas.
OUTCOME: Associations of poetic images and concepts describe sociological, environmental, communal and gender issues within the artists sculptural installations. Psychological gestures rise and focus, as time and space shift like ephemeral planes within the artists drawn paintings.
