Jane Skeer: True blue
Jane Skeer’s art has always been about the sum of its parts. Her works of sculptural assemblage and installation defer to the serial arrangement of mass-manufactured commodities. These found and repurposed waste materials are often derived from packaging or remaindered print stock—bits of old rope, plastic containers, previous year’s festival flyers, newspapers and magazines (including remaindered back issues of Artlink). As a comment on the excesses of production, framed through the repetition and amplification of subtle details, there is beauty in obsolescence.
