Jane Rainwater
People are often attracted to the aesthetics of an imageor object that stimulates desire.Decorative objects are collected and exhibited in the home as status symbols of affluence and refinement. My work engages the viewer with its seemingly innocent decorative delight; yet upon closer
examination the work challenges and questions our attraction by revealing darker truths. My drawings, diagrams, mixed media installations, sculpture and prints explore the paradox
of “horrible beauty,” illuminating my concerns regarding the environment, wealth, greed, violence and cultural tradition.
