Caroline Jane Harris responds to recurring cycles of change in nature, through a cross-disciplinary exploration of screen-based images and the artist’s hand. Through meditative processes, she creates works that redirect attention from digital deluge and resonate slowly through complex materiality. In Japanese, ‘komorebi’ describes sunlight that filters through the leaves of a tree. This interplay of light and darkness is the subject of Harris’ latest print series. Hand-cut paper stencils from pixelated ‘Komorebi’ images were directly captured through photo-etching, and printed onto hemp paper dappled by droplets of water. The repetitions between image, process and medium, reflect upon the recursive connections of natural phenomena. Harris graduated from MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School in 2015 and remained Print Fellow until 2018. She holds a BA in Fine Art Printmaking from University of Brighton. Harris has exhibited widely locally and internationally, recently in ‘Earth Speak’ (2023-24) and ‘Transfiguration’ (2021-22) at NTCRI Taiwan, as well as ‘The World Was All Before Them’, TULCA Festival Galway, Ireland (2022) among many more. She was selected as a finalist in ‘Aesthetica Art Prize 2024’, nominated for ‘Queen Sonja Print Award’ in 2020 and was winner of Dentons art Prize 2019.
