About The Artwork
Solo Exhibition piece @ Arts Disability Forum Belfast-based artist Jan McNeill explores how language develops and shapes our view of the world. Her installation, sculptural and photographic work draws on pre-existing metaphors around language, presenting metaphor in a subtle, near invisible form. She creates a space where language can be explored in a physical form, giving a playful context and an alternative view of how language can exist around us. Materials such as silicone, acrylic and glass give subtlety to the work and capture the fragility of language and communication. The artist’s own connection with language has often been ambivalent and her work represents a struggle to understand complexities, confusion, and even intimidation around the power and authority of words.

My practice has evolved through many materials and forms but continues to manifest itself as installation, photography or sculpture, sometimes a mixture of all three. Currently, I have become intrigued by language and although language ideology is a relatively new dimension to the work, it is one I have investigated in this current work A Play On Words (2011). This work is an interrogator of language, its power and authority and the impact it has on the individual to create barriers of class and gender. A linguistic sparring between viewer and the work occurs causing questions to be asked but leaving the response to personal interpretation. My intention is to bring a sense of lived experience of language within a quiet subtle space. This echoes a desire to make work that creates an intimate, reflective space leaving a residue of lived experience within the viewer long after they have departed.
