"The fluidity between opposing states such as light and darkness, opacity and transparency, forms another recurrent theme in Laurence's art. Large, semi-transparent veils of photographic film create architectural corridors through which viewers walk, their presence recorded in reflection and momentarily enmeshed within the imagery that surrounds them. The smearing and spillage of fluids and pigments onto glass and metal similarly creates a sense of disturbance and flux. Laurence's creation of experiential environments, focus upon the viewer as an active producer of meaning, suggests a coming together of different worlds and, with it, a holistic integration of art and life.' (Rachel Kent, Janet Laurence: Transpiration, exh. cat. Sherman Galleries, 2000)
