An extended interview with photographs
Harryet Candee: Your creative voice was extraordinary at a very young age. You saw odd things, and your curiosity led you on a search to explore. Now you have created artwork that is a result of all that, tell us, what in particular launched your fascination with nature and religion?
Jane Gennaro: As little kids, we’re closer to the ground. You lie on your stomach with your nose in the grass; pick up a stone with stripes or a rock that looks like it’s made out of diamonds! See a pink worm squiggling out of that deep, rich black earth, dare to touch it, and – Surprise! It curls up on itself!
