The images in The Flowers of Romance series function ironically, taking a sideswipe at the end of human suffering and attainment of enlightenment depicted in Buddhist mandalas. The ‘flowers’ of the title are not just beautiful but deadly, adapting the masculine iconography of a single weapon of war into an apparition of organic beauty.

Multiple-plate etching Edition of 30 Image size: 39 x 29.5 cm Paper size: 65 x 50 cm Printed by the artist PCA Print Commission 2009 Conduit is a meditation on receptivity. This image is a metaphor for the external influences that shape an internal dialogue. The rhythmic swirls, drips and dense fog that encase the ear branch allude to the challenging task of processing in a maelstrom of information.

Janet Parker-Smith – Farm Play
Screenprint and embossing Edition of 40 Image size: 39.3 x 29.3 cm Paper size: 39.3 x 29.3 cm Printed by the artist PCA Print Commission 2009 My current practice explores and questions ideas about social, cultural and historical inherited gender stereotypes. The images used are sourced from toys, games, models and references to childhood from my own collection. One such toy is a model plane of the Enola Gay. This screenprint, sourced from the box, shows an image of young boy happily clutching his toy plane. The surface of the print is embossed with images of the nuclear weapon that was dropped on Hiroshima.
