Contextual 14.04.11

Jane Ormes


'British bird unaware he'd flown to Australia'


'In his heart it was his jam tart'




'Who stole the swiss roll'

I really like Jane Orme's work, it has a vibrancy and just makes me smile.
Jane is a screenprinter based in Bristol, her work is naive, lively, fun, all the things that I'm hoping to achieve. She uses space within her composition to accentuate her subjects and pattern within her colour blocks to achieve texture. These are elements that interest me which I need to explore more so it's really interesting to see someone use it so simply yet so effectively. 

Her themes tend to be personal, some domestic, a lot connected to birds and animals and involve hand-written text to deliver her lines. I love the simple effectiveness of it all and think this is proof for me that less is definitely more !
