Jane Ostler

Colchester
In retrospect it is easy to edit out all the difficulties and want to forget them. But being stuck and trying to work through them is a recurrent theme. Comfort. Shortage of time. Wrong priorities

I like to work on the borders between representation and indecipherability. Sense and non-sense, meaning and non-meaning, finding order in chaos and chaos in order; crossing geographical and emotional borders.
