Printmaking, Photography, Installation, and Research
Artist Jane Elizabeth Bennett’s practice is an examination of the world in which she finds her self. To her, existence is filled with systems of discontinuity. Meaning that memories fade, language is inadequate and places continually fracture and reform.
Through printmaking, photography, installation and detailed research, she attempts to address and potentially resolve these issues of discontinuity. Her transdisciplinary approach incorporates philosophical, scientific and artistic research to create engaged projects and exhibitions.
‘It follows that the sublime must not be sought in things of nature, but must be sought solely in our ideas.’ KANT
Education
Bennett graduated from the University of Central Lancashire with a BA (Hon) in Drawing and Image-making in 2010 specializing in Printmaking and Installation.
In 2013 she completed her Master’s Degree in Site and Archive Intervention from the University of Central Lancashire, studying under Professor Lubaina Himid and Professor Charles Quick. Through her MA she expanded her professional practice to engage with place, digital technologies, and philosophical discourses.
Bennett is currently working as a Printmaking Studio Technician for the Artlab Research Unit at the University of Central Lancashire. She has developed an in-depth skillset that enables her to work across multiple print media, this includes relief (digital woodcut, woodcut, and lino) etching (hard ground, soft ground, and phototype) and stone lithography however she predominantly works with screen printing.
