Description
Janet Macpherson is a former exhibitor at the Gardiner Museum. Her recent works have an exploration of wrapping animal forms in damp porcelain sheets – binding, bandaging the figures, and contemplating the intentions of these gestures.
In her words, “Inspired by visits to the Ohio State Agricultural Fair in Columbus, where farm animals were clothed in protective fabrics, tethered tightly to posts, awaiting exhibition and judging, I have begun assembling my own slip-cast menagerie, in which I play with forms of domestication, sanitation and restraint. Through the use of animal forms I explore ideas of repression, confinement, and torture, the animals becoming a metaphor for our relationships with others, and how we understand ourselves.”
