On The Verge Exhibition:

New works from Jane Davenport as part of FEHVA Festival.

Wayward Gallery, Byron Bay





Jane finds incredible, saturated beauty, both harmonious and ragged, in ignored spaces. She has been investigating the peripheral edges of our existence for years; verges, nature strips, vacant blocks all host their own micro habitats and Jane has been collecting images of the life that comes and goes on the fringe.

The resultant body of work is titled 'On the Verge' and the it urges the viewer to connect with nature, and forms a document of vanishing places. Vacant blocks don't stay that way for long, and at the tiny scale Jane works at, even a simple mowing, transforms everything. "I find being able to watch these small pockets of the world recover and stagger forward, empowering. It gives me hope in the face of growing worldwide environmental calamity." says Jane.

" I make images to express wonder, love and hope for the world. In creating my work, I can explore nature, and bring it back to a scale that is digestible to me. Beauty is regenerative and inspires optimism." says Jane
