Jane Hudson is a video artist, an instructor at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and a vocalist and bass player in JEFF AND JANE, a cult electro-pop/punk band.
As a creator of video art since 1972, Hudson explains her personal explorations with this medium: The technology of video, its capacity to render psychological spaces, imaginative landscapes has always been at the root of my investigations. Whether I am there as image/voice, or find surrogates from the Media or from my own visual language, I have been committed to the depiction of a layered consciousness. I do not believe in the simplicity of representation, its indexical relation to the perceived world. Rather, the notion of parallel planes of existence, of simultaneous realities is of endless fascination to me. Although I consider the basic thrust of my work to be quite serious, that is, addressing complexities of perception and identity, I have always been suspicious of ideological or philosophical certainty. For this reason there is often an ironic or humorous, even ridiculous, balancing within the work. |
