"Britain is built on two millennia of history, and a further fifteen of prehistory. Much of the spiritual heartland of this country is based on archaeological record. So it is not surprising that artist Janet Curley Cannon, armed with the twin technologies of ancient plaster making and modern inkjet printing, is setting out to explore modern society's psyche by manufacturing modern antiquities. The result is substantial chunks of broken plaster mounted on plinths, bearing coloured photomontages. These are slabs from an act of urban renewal, archaic fossil remains of a buried culture which, confusingly, is the present day." Christopher Harrod; New Zealand Art Monthly Review, August 2008.
