Most recently, her installation work was featured by the Lockport Gallery in the “ToyBox” exhibition. Her Hypothesis Series, which comprises of two-dimensional pieces, has been created in response to theses large-scale textile installations that Jan is most well-known for.

Inspired by the underlying rhythms and patterns of nature, the new body of work carries differences in its process, form, and dimensionality to co-exist with the 3D pieces. Discover more at www.janbrandtartist.com.
