July/ August 2024

Janine Etherington

Perspective, relationship, and tromp l’oeil drive my curiosity and my work. An ongoing interaction between an arrangement of wood elements and angles of light fuels a cycle of invention and reinvention. This process inspires a conversation around how the elements relate, what surprising connections might be made, and what assumptions might be challenged and upended – much like a conversation with a good friend can bring you to new philosophical territory and unexpected ideological destinations. We just don’t know what we’ll find until we get there, and we’re compelled to keep moving forward: The uncertainty of the destination draws me in and entices me to keep looking.
