'The Colour of Words II' is a solo exhibition by Jane Bustin building upon her 2020 exhibition, 'The Colour of Words', which opened at Jane Lombard Gallery only a few weeks before stay-at-home-orders were issued in New York City. 'The Colour of Words II' ruminates on Jane's practice-based research while in residence at the Mark Rothko Centre in Latvia where she worked in the former 1833 Fortress just outside of the city of Daugavpils. Bustin’s studio was situated in a brooding outbuilding that once housed a dining hall for Napoleonic soldiers, a prisoner of war camp, a post-war aviation engineering school and underground raves in the 1980s. There she was inspired to study the richness of “histories, secrets, and buried memories within its walls”.
