Jane Bayne

The work I am making now is about bringing order to a randomly applied system of abstract shapes. It is also about it's own nature: paint is applied to paper freely and without restriction then boundaries are designed giving structure to the spontaneity. This is the nature of water: rain falls freely and is contained by the boundaries of a lake, a stream or a test tube. A water analogy is appropriate because my works are in the medium of watercolor - paint falling freely, contained by the boundaries of an abstract system, which I design.

MB: "You really understand the abstract principle."
JM: "That's a strong painting!"
