“Footfall responds to an ongoing learning of the Country on which I live; the works are inspired by my walking on Wadawurrung Country.
They loosely capture the entanglings of space, time and place through weaving techniques taken on and off a loom. The works develop over time and ultimately reflect my own walking – the width and the pace of a repeated pattern over some four or more metres. My feminism, queer and ageing labels seep into the soil as I find my way. Within this frame, the materials come from the land, work-like and purposeful, recrafted into ongoing pieces that ask questions and pursue more to see. They continue to be prompted by the kind of footfall that may have passed/will pass, here as well.”

Jane Bartier works in place; where she walks; and through her weaving and textile perspective, considers the landscape in which she undertakes her practice. Jane has moved her practice to capture walking as a component, going off loom and accessing discarded material of haybale twine and haybale plastic rolls. Her works can be sculptural, holey, large, knotted, repetitive. Jane seeks out conversation where living in unceded land, in a farming community and where environmental crises lead to debate, to ask questions of action, inaction, activism and silence.
