Friends of The Wilson Silent Auction Item 5

Artwork by Jane Sasanow ‘By Land and Water’. Observations of birdlife and habitation near the sea and rivers Mono & lino print  (framed 840mm x 360mm).

Jane was born in Manchester but spent her childhood living in Little London (Forest of Dean) before the nomadic years living both in Exeter and the north of England before
settling in Cheltenham to begin a teaching career. She studied at Loughborough College of Art & Design in BA Textiles/Fashion, (Specialist study in Woven Printed Textiles 1981), at Liverpool Polytechnic for her PGCE in Education and at the University of the West of England for her MA Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking.

The recurring themes in Jane’s current work are the patterns and textures found in
landscape and the history of land and habitation; working with print to explore the
secrets held by the land. Her process is experimental, exploring both the surface
qualities of collagraphs and the graphic shapes of cut lino. Layered and juxtaposed
and asking questions. Book Arts are as important to her practice as printmaking.
These allow her inquisitive nature to explore a wider range of issues and creative
ideas.
