Janine Emma Goldsworthy
Janine was a finalist representing the North East for the British Councils Young Visual Arts Entrepreneur award 2009. Janine is developing a collaborative exchange programme with the Slade School of art, London and Thailand and was one of the 5 artists representing Stoke-on-Trent as part of the Localised project with Staffordshire University with Poland and Lithuania in March 2011. Janine has recently returned from an Arts Council supported residency at ComPeung Northern Thailand and a British Council research visit to Mumbai India.
My current practice involves making site specific temporary (public art) interventions using colour to highlight features and materials which often use metaphors to suggest a narrative. These works are often made in collaboration and are developed over a period of time researching a site and space. Recent artworks include a new permanent commission for the door of the Harbour Arm Gallery in Margate as part of the Kiss Me Quick exhibition 2011, an entrance feature for an appartment in Sheffield and integrated artworks for University of Sunderland Student accomodation.
