Jane Wilbraham 1 March - 31 March 2002 Jane Wilbraham cuts out letters and pictures printed on produce boxes to make her sculptures and reliefs. They are glued together and read like the solution to a complex word game. Her quirky procedures make the material intimate, and take the work beyond being simply textual. Fruit box typography seems to have changed little since the days of Pop Art, and although she uses these graphics, her work is not wholly graphic. Rather it uses this dated quality to emphasise changes in the relationship between people, and the way in which changes in patterns of consumption impact on the local. It is through the print that we are alerted to the potency of the raw material. These boxes are usually discarded before their contents enter the world of sales displays, but they evoke the sweet stink of decaying vegetables after market. Here are the meat and veg cogs of retail. Jane's work is full of the tension between aspirations, and experience, between economic theory and running the family shop. She calls up locations in flux, areas in decline or regeneration, areas where the totally structured consumption of the high street has fallen away or has not yet been established. The box awakens the exotic and the far away. It is travelled, but it is a mundane leftover of commerce. We are usually interested only in the abstract movement of money and easily forget the real journeys that are undertaken. So the banana is not a symbol of a far away place, but a dusty cheap logo. Wilbraham brings together the marginal and the multinational in an anecdotal history of losses.
