Welcome to the blog of Janet Tryner, Contemporary Artist. Here are notes about works in progress, workshop news and random writing. Also, bits and bobs that for some reason or other haven't made it onto Instagram or my website, which I try to keep in a tidy state, but sometimes I just have to write more about what I'm up to with stuff. I don't have a regular update plan but this is a 'live' site. So, if it isn't up to date when you visit, it will be at some point. Please check back.

deceptive perception?
Perhaps our problem is faulty perception? I glanced up from the computer screen to idly consider what a moment of arrival would be like for a civilisation such as ours, which is occupied with progress, only for my eyes to focus involuntarily on an object in the middle-distance across on the other side of the street. So now there is a displacement in inverted colours: a light-shadow superimposed up and to the right-hand side onto what I now see: the formerly unseen object. Here is an impression of a green glowing chimney beneath a cloudy sky. I am simultaneously seeing the object and my memory of it. And the memory is rapidly fading. As a memory and representation of a thought, this could be a fading presence of a civilisation.
