'Back in the Fold' (in situ) - Abstract Art by Jane Trotter

‘Back in the Fold’

Simple complexity or complex simplicity? I ask myself this question many times when I create images such as ‘Back in the Fold’. On the surface, the construction and form are simple. Yet when you delve deeper, the interplay of lines, folds and shadows become increasingly difficult to decipher.

Many of my friends tell me they see a villainous and fiendish face forming in the shadows and the more I look, the more I begin to agree with them! In fact, I find the whole triptych somewhat perplexing. Upon each viewing I’m constantly challenged by the right panel’s miraculous ability to hang, unsupported, in mid-air.

Somehow, despite all of the unconventional symmetry and asymmetry, ‘Back in the Fold’ defies gravity and remains standing – just to taunt me another day.

Artwork Information & Purchasing Options

Images displayed on this page use the Limited Edition format. Open Edition prints look slightly different due to their different aspect ratio (height divided by width). More information on these differences is available in the 'Open Edition Artworks' section below. The Open Edition formats offered by each print partner are different and you can see examples by visiting my 'shop' on their websites.

Limited Edition Sizes

Corporate Art Consultants & Interior Design Professionals

For Open Edition prints (canvas or fine art) at standard sizes, my Open Edition print partners are probably the best source to look at first.  The dedicated page has more detailed information on what each partner offers with a link to my 'shop' at their site.


If you can't find a size/media variation that meets your requirements then please get in touch. I am happy to work with you to get an artwork that meets your design goals.

Open Edition Artworks in a range of media and sizes

My partners use quality materials and can provide my art in a range of sizes* and media, which vary by partner. A link to my 'shop' at each partner, and information on what options they provide, can be viewed on the Open Edition Print Partners page.

* My preferred format for creating my images is an aspect ratio of 1.414 - in NZ this is the aspect ratio of an A2 piece of paper. While this is pleasing to my eye, it does tend to require custom framing which in my experience is very nice but has a price tag to match. 

I'm not going to change how I create my art, however in the interests of making it more accessible, I have reviewed each artwork and made some modifications to align it with common standards for print sizes. These changes provide access to a broader range of framing options and allow me to partner with some resellers who can handle the sales process more efficiently than I can.
