Artists: Jane Kenyon, Eleanor Hannan, Jude Neale, Elizabeth Dancoes
Two textile artists and two poets come together in an exhibition based on friendship and mutual appreciation…one medium sparks the other in a confluence of ideas and inspiration.
These artists find themselves revisiting themes of femaleness and autonomy through mythology, narrative, figurative exploration, or abstract expression. Decades of friendship and artistic expression have allowed them to persevere in the face of heartbreak, hopelessness, and rage.
Eleanor and Elizabeth’s new work is the latest installment of an ongoing collaborative journey based on the ancient and intriguing gesture Anasyrma: to raise the skirt. The spiritual implications of Anasyrma are profound. While inciting transformation, it encourages laughter as a conduit to renewal. It resonates in art through time, from the mysterious things concealed beneath skirts in fables and fairytales to the compelling image of Marilyn Monroe’s skirts billowing over a subway grate.
Jane has been making, destroying, and remaking her artworks for decades. Recent work with recycled clothing feels like a further exploration of the permanence/impermanence of materials, perhaps an attempt to salvage their usefulness for her. Our domestic cloth, be it clothing, or other household fabrics, eventually makes its way to the landfills, where it slowly disintegrates and returns to the earth or not. Working with these frail, worn-out textiles, Jane, feels like a tender gift, an opportunity to rediscover their marks, shapes, and stories, perhaps creating new histories and future possibilities.
The Skin Series was begun early in the pandemic during a year of uncertainty when physical vulnerability and human resilience went hand-in-hand. Jude Neale’s stream-of-consciousness poem, Where We Stood, provided the impetus for this ongoing body of Jane’s work about our journeys – those hundreds of conversations that have occurred over the years between two women, mothers, poets and artists.
Through this exhibition, these four artists aim to share the methods and means of artist and writer working together, both sustaining work over a long period in productive collaboration and coming together to focus the working collaboration for exhibition; in other words, to speak the language of that communication fluently.

Event Details
Arts in the Garden is an annual outdoor community event that has been taking place for now over twenty years. The event is a celebration of the intersection between artistic practices and the natural world. Each year, musicians, visual artists and performers fill outdoor spaces with their imagination and creativity, with the aim of inspiring visitors to care for the natural world while being in better relations to one another and to those who share the land with us. Arts in the Garden is an encounter of people and place, of creativity and of reflection; we invite you to join us in this special weekend of play, connection and delight on May 27 and 28, 2023.
During Arts in the Garden 2023, about twelve outdoor spaces will host a handful of visual artists, musicians and performers for visitors to meet over the course of the weekend. This is not a ticketed event, although garden passes are available for purchase beginning in spring 2023. While some public gardens are free to enter, most have a small cash fee of under 5$ – the exact amount will be posted in the months leading up to the event.
