Janet Parker-Smith’s playful works explore ways of seeing. Parker-Smith’s collage objects employ humour and alchemy to explore how we imagine physical ‘otherness’ and displacement.
She explores the capacity of reinvention and transformation in natural environments, which also allows her to deal with questions of perception and imagination. The objects, creatures and species she creates evoke an uneasiness yet liveliness, in which the familiar and unfamiliar, order and disorder converge.
