“My work is It is constructed from the photographs I take, which are repeatedly remade, creating images of imaginary, fragmented and transitory landscapes. When work is difficult printed, the ink is dissolved and manipulated hand, leaving traces of previous forms and injecting the work with a sense of memory and the passage of time. These landscapes, city architectures, rural and industrial environments, thus become familiar and at the same time disturbing, as they allude to the cycle of destruction and regeneration witnessed over time.” Jane Ward 2014
