Jane-Louise Anderson focuses on human modes and behaviours of collecting; how we cultivate relationships with objects, in particular the fashion garment.
Her methods and processes explore textile manipulations and interruptions, printmaking and photography.
A lifelong passion for embroidery and textile crafts traditionally ascribed as feminine, imbue Anderson’s practice with a diverse range of making strategies that centre historically invisible forms of women’s labour.
Exploring memory through cyanotype processes, ghostly impressions are reconstructed and deconstructed within the warp and weft of the textiles upon which they are exposed.
Anderson has a Bachelor of Creative Arts with Honours and is currently lecturing in Visual and Digital Arts at Charles Darwin University in Darwin, Northern Territory.
