This year, our partners are the Zillah Bell Gallery in Thirsk whom we asked to come up with a long list of artists they felt represented the best of printmaking in the UK today. Jane Glynn was selected from the short-listed artists.
Jane is an Irish artist/printmaker currently undertaking a Masters Degree in Fine Art Printmaking at the National College of Art & Design (NCAD) in Dublin.
Liminal space is the cornerstone of Jane’s work. Her focus in her current project has been on the interiors of buildings in transition―places that are floating between functions, drifting towards abandonment and decay, hovering between ownership old and new. 
She has a fascination with the remnants of past lives – both physical and psychological – that remain in these buildings long after their inhabitants have gone. Primarily through intaglio printmaking and photography, Jane engages with these atmospheric spaces and their sense of fleeting temporality. Her work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin and was chosen for the inaugural exhibition of The Royal Academy of Arts in North Yorkshire at Zillah Bell Galleries in Thirsk, Yorkshire.
