Jane Rushton

Working across a variety of media, Jane Rushton’s practice reflects on the complexity of the natural world. Themes of fragility, transience and endurance provide a focus, filtered through the interplay between the macro and the micro.

With reference to Earth’s geological base, through the abundance of plant and arboreal growth, to the lifeforms that inhabit the coastal regions of northern latitudes, the rich textures of the natural world are explored and re-formed.

With a long-term focus on ‘the north’, from Scotland to the Arctic regions of Greenland and Svalbard, Rushton works with a keen awareness of our changing climate and its impact. Her work is, however, celebratory and aims to invite contemplation and reverie within her viewer.
