Jan Harrison Genie
GENIE, 2015, pastel, ink, colour pencil and charcoal on rag paper, 22.5 x 30.25 inches. In Genie, living animals group together in a pool of life: Genie emerges as a bird, giraffe, snow leopard, panther, and hyena, surrounded by flowers and microscopic life. The animals look at the viewer. The giraffe and the hyena listen to a flower. They want to live and thrive, but the hyena knows they are in danger.
