This is called Semiotics, the language of fashion. The signifier becoming the signified through communication between humans into signs and their interpretations.
Components of Jacki’s art inspiration are in response to her exposure and colourful up bringing in Africa. She has a curiosity in the exploration of materials and methods in delivering her outcome.

Janice Giles has made art for most of her life. Primarily self-taught, she enjoys experimenting with techniques and mediums. Janice works mainly with acrylics and her current focus is on abstract works.

This exhibition is an attempt to honour that long process, and to respect that learning is never wasted. It represents many hours of painting and contemplation. The exhibition is comprised of art works with story and history. Parts of each work were originally created over a 10 year period, and have been re-worked, re-composed and rejuvenated.
Opening: January 18, from 5.30 pm
When: January 19 – February 10
