Abstract:
Takahē's featured artist this issue is Jane Schollum and we are concentrating on her works from two periods of productivity: the mid 1990s and the first few years of the twenty-first century. Works from these periods are significantly and visibly influenced by rural Canterbury's browns and yellows, and the popular culture of that time. Overlaid are tensions arising from Jane's experiences as a gay woman living in one of our more conservative cities.
