Jan Spencer
Jan Spencer’s oil crayon collages are inspired by plein air drawings made while travelling, cycling and walking in Australia and overseas. She uses oil crayons on coloured papers which are torn or scoured into shapes, pasted on art board and sealed with varnish. The thick dense crayon plays with the torn edges of the coloured papers.
Jan Spencer is inspired by the domestic spaces of her friends...spaces shared for morning teas and drawing; courtyard gardening swapping plants; table tennis dinners, lucky to see the owner’s ceramic creations in her new bathroom; and Jan’s bookshelf with some of her ceramic collection.
“I trust my works will connect with an experience or moment the viewers have had or identify with and feel compelled to return a glance and find even more to see.” - Jan Spencer.
