In this portrait of a pair of black shoes, Jan offers a window into the lived experiences of historical figures. Jan builds details from the ground up, applying thick blocks of paint and then adding decorative elements. By connecting us to someone’s past, we are inspired to pick up on the more humorous and routine facets of their otherwise exposed life.
Jan carefully treats her artwork as an extension of an archive.
