Janis Goodman
I produce blue-lack etchings of birds, landscape and urban configurations. My prints are preoccupied with patterns made by the built environment and how these contrast with organic forms. The pictures are small narratives; in which different elements meet and interact. The choice of subject matter is visceral – I get a feeling that this is the view or the collection of shapes, which I wish to reassemble. Much of the work concerns places I know well, which have become an integral part of my mind’s eye. I enjoy the act of repetition – but I also like to stop and reconfigure.
