INNERSCAPES features a collection of abstract and mixed media

resident artists, Jayne Gaze

Artists statement

The underlying view of the mind as a distinct space or ‘scape’ has

a long history. As dreams incorporate elements and experiences

from the outer world to shape the landscape of consciousness your

‘innerscape’ can be a vehicle that might help you to reflect upon

and interpret some of what is going on in your subconscious.

Over the past two years, through this body of work, I have

allowed myself to intuitively explore my internal personal

geography and make visual representations of my ‘innerscapes’.

The images are a reflection of my interior world and how I

experience existence. They are memories, experiences, sounds

and smells, feelings and emotions. They are loss, love, regret, joy

and hope. They are people and places known, unknown, visited

and left, both physically and emotionally and those I might yet

visit in the future, imagine or dream about.

As an artist this is my buried treasure for me to excavate, examine

and record.

Now living between Worcester and Wales, Jayne has been a resident artist of The Artery Studios since January 2023 following a period of nine years in Spain.
