Retreating, then advancing repeatedly over the centuries

Janie Kidston’s work explores the way in which we visualize unfamiliar places through the medium of photography; in how we know the world not through photographs but interpretations of actual photographs and in how digital technologies have created an anxiety in our perceptions of the modern landscape.

Working from a sculptural background, she manipulates printed-paper and reflective light to create studio sets that explore unrealized spaces and the subject of scale through the medium of photography.


Janie Kidston (born London, 1956) is a graduate of the MFA in printmaking at Camberwell College of Art (with dinstinction); and was awarded the University of the Arts 'Alumni Bursary Award'.
