Artist's Statement

The Fence Installation Series are a combination of monoprinted textures of orange construction fences, with painted and hand stamped shapes, on one large piece of fabric. The fabric is stitched to highlight different lines and patterns. Jeanne is working to combine the grids of the construction fence in at least one of three ways; with other building textures and repeats, with nature that grows around the construction, and/or to create the illusion of how one fence pattern is reacting with another pattern.

Before outdoor installation, holes are cut into the work to more resemble actual construction fences, to help enable the viewer to experience nature around and through the work, and to allow the wind to blow through them so they are more stable in different kinds of weather.

Jeanne is documenting these pieces to see how stitched and painted fabric does living out in nature. They have been outside since late May 2009. You can her follow her year of documenting these outdoor installations on her blog.
