Jane Perkins, a talented artist from the United Kingdom, has a unique approach to art that involves reusing and repurposing discarded objects. Her captivating assemblages, crafted from buttons, toys, jewelry, old shells, and beads, serve as intricate recreations of famous paintings, portraits, and iconic pop culture figures. With meticulous care, Perkins selects objects that perfectly match the colors and tones of the original images, creating visually stunning and thought-provoking pieces.
Beyond her technical skill, Perkins’ work is infused with a playful and whimsical spirit. She embraces the unexpected and finds joy in transforming ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. Her creations are not merely reproductions but rather personal interpretations that invite viewers to see the world in a new and imaginative way.
I am a ‘re-maker’, taking inspiration from found objects and working them into something new. I love art with an element of fun and the unexpected, and hope my work will make you smile!
