Jane Richens
I am a multidisciplinary visual artist, biodiversity farmer and creator of science and arts events living on Gringai country in Dungog. My practice encompasses sculptural and stitched textiles, video, sound, and wearable creations.
Inspired by the rainforest I live within, my work explores the interconnectedness of human and more-than-human ecosystems.
Related works include: wearable series – 2024 ‘Sound Coat’ and ‘Tesselated Landscapes’; stitched aerial forest landscapes in ‘Dear Forest’; sculptural textile series – ‘Botanical Fictions’ – crafted from hand-made textiles and discarded materials.
Initiatives
Recent career highlights include:
leading the community-focused Defashion Dungog event;
participating in Regional Art NSW’s ‘Work of Art’ program;
participating in ‘Artists in Volatile Landscapes’ exhibition for the NSW Regional Futures project;
facilitating artisan workshops at Woodford Folk Festival.
I have exhibited in Newcastle, Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and Dungog and contribute to online projects that have sonic, environmental and social connectivity.
