Jayne Corfield

Jayne Corfield’s recent series of prints explore her obsessive compulsion to scan the surface of objects. The exploration of an object through an alternative lens, for example a microscope, a macro lens, or document scanner, in order to record activity, inspires Jayne. Her work explores an interest in using a scientific approach to demonstrate possible links between science and art. Her research has parallels with the laboratory experiment. She has developed a ‘formula’ using equipment, (digital technologies, printmaking, photography, and the microscope) exploring objects, samples and specimens reaching its conclusion in a series of prints. Jayne is interested in microscopic imagery, making detailed observations using the microscope, as well as using digital scanners, to explore this abstracted imagery through the medium of print. Fragments and memories inspire Jayne. In the laboratory fragments of the world are dissected, isolated, recombined, weighed, and watched. Merging the boundaries of art and science, her images convey the intricacy of the world we don't see.
