Janice Hathaway’s work is meant to encourage reflection about the relationship between nature and culture, handwork and technology while being strongly influenced by coincidence, humor, feelings and desire. This work sustains the artist’s long-term interest in creating prints of imaginary situations seeking the living moment.
Janice uses original photographs of natural subjects that are combined digitally to create layered multi-image collage. All works are hand worked to add additional richness and texture and sustains her long-term interest in creating two-dimensional, sculptural collage and motion graphics.
Janice Hathaway’s painterly transmorgraphs create living moments in imaginary situations. Using her own photographs of landscapes, flowers and historical artifacts, she cuts, blends, wraps, paints and incorporates masks and adjustment layers in Photoshop with an approach that reflects Old Master composition and lighting. When the works are finalized as archival prints, they are rematerialized into physical space.
Hathaway Photography has unaltered photographs taken by Janice Hathaway. These include skies, ocean views, mountains, flowers, objects and buildings from the United States and Europe.
This site also has early black and white portraits from her 1970s Tuscaloosa Alabama days in addition to theater and dance photography.
Janice Hathaway was invited to exhibit her surrealist collage in an exhibition, “Liquid Solaris” at The Eugenio Granell Fundación in Santiago de Compostela Spain from May 26 – July 10 2016. Granell’s daughter, Executive Director Natalia Fernandez, extended the invitation as part of a year of women Surrealist exhibitions in honor of her mother and Granell’s wife Amparo Segarra.
Eugenio Granell was the last Spanish Surrealist of the early Surrealist movement. The Eugenio Granell Fundación is the only museum in the world dedicated exclusively to the movement. The Eugenio Granell Fundación opened in 1995 in his home town of Santiago de Compostela and holds 600 of Granell’s paintings along with works by Picabia, Duchamp, Man Ray and Breton. Two of Hathaway’s photo-collages are now part of the collection.
The book was made for the exhibition and is available. There are 52 of her photo-collages in color and 69 black and white photographs including ones from Raudelunas and early surrealist years. The book is in English and Spanish with a biography and writings about her photo-colleges by Natalia Fernandez, Davey Williams, Franklin Rosemont, LaDonna Smith, Laurens Vancrevel, Marcia Morse, Merl Fluin, Paul Cowdell and Ruurdje Laarhoven.
