We the People
Janet Van Fleet’s large figures hanging on the wall are half- to three-quarter human scale. They are made with found and re-purposed materials, including wood, metal, wire, rubber, buttons, and glass. Their presence as People remind us that we are made of many things and ideas, yet united in our collective future and desire for freedom.
Janet Van Fleet:
They are looking at you, and you are looking at them. I like to think that they may be saying something to you, and you might be replying, or making a statement of your own. This is a bit like our mixing it up with the other people around us, our co-citizens. Often it seems impossible to understand where they’re coming from, and they sometimes have no clue what we think and why we think it. Connecting with art often requires a similar effort to open ourselves and relate. I wish you a good conversation!
