This exhibition invites the audience to engage with artworks on a new level. Traditionally, viewers are not permitted to touch art in galleries; however, in this case, the sense of touch accompanies sight in an exploration of the amalgamation of painting and sculptural techniques. As the title indicates, natural and artificial light are included as mediums to introduce form, highlights and shadow to art with which an audience can physically connect.

These artworks also take Janice on a new, challenging path of exploration in her practice, which has previously concentrated on depicting the Australian landscape, to a place where she dares to be limited only by her imagination.
