Janet Lines investigates the unknown, and the emotions that this precarious state brings into being. Her sculptures are thoughts and feelings made material. She explores the external and internal, both physically and metaphorically. Openings, the junction between space occupied and contained, are reminiscent of mouths, entrances to narrow passageways or cavernous interiors. Using metaphors of sticks, bundles, and sacks-familiar objects in abstract form, these pieces articulate the fragile and vulnerable state of displacement, dis-belonging, and of being confronted by the Unknown. Janet Lines is a British artist currently based in Athens, Greece.
