Janet Mazenier

I am a contemporary visual artist whose practice engages with place, time, affect, world bending, and materiality. My drawn-paintings are characterised by texturally rich, excavated, and striated surfaces that evoke ancientness, the hidden, the unseen, and the ephemeral. In 2025, I led an international collective called Meitheal (an Irish term for people who support each other to bring in the harvest) —a collaboration born from time spent at the Burren College of Art in County Clare, Ireland. The collective includes women from around the world. Our work Faultlines was exhibited at the Sluice World Building exhibition in Seyðisfjörður, Iceland, in May, with a focus on inclusivity, art-making, and shared joy.
