Honestly I think this artwork was inspired by the song "Slow Jam" by New Order. It sings of simple pleasures and finding enough in the things we already have. To stop searching and persisting for bigger and better. And that really the only wish is to be satisfied, happy, grateful, content; we have an abundance of everything we need if we pay attention.
ONE MORE WISH
JANE THOMPSON
Jane was born and raised in the country on a sheep and cattle property in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales.
Working predominantly in acrylics, oil sticks and graphite, Jane enjoys creating with fast drying materials as they enable her to capture the energy and freedom in the spontaneous moment. For Jane there are no rules, no boundaries, no expectations and no plan of what it 'should be'; the process is openly expressive and guided by the energy of the creation and the energy from Jane herself.
Closely connected to nature, Jane has recently focused her attention to the elements of our natural world; in particular water which has signified a more fluid and layered approach to her process. She also applies a daily writing practice to engage words, ideas and stories inviting a more spiritual aliveness to her work.
"Expressive, gestural and layered, I paint under the infuences of our internal and external complexities. Always pondering what it is to be human, my artwork focuses broadly on the hopes we have in the familiar, the ones we have for the unknown and the belief that nature will always inform and guide the next step".
