Walking Home, from the Walking the Perimeter series by Janet Elizabeth Thomas
In Fitzroy Street Trees, Janet Elizabeth Thomas captures a quiet streetscape transformed by the presence of mature trees and the changing light of day. Strong branches stretch across the composition, casting deep shadows over walls, footpaths and neighbouring homes. The interplay of architecture and foliage creates a layered image in which nature both frames and softens the built environment, revealing the distinctive character of Marrickville's residential streets.
Part of the Walking Home group, the final chapter of Walking the Perimeter, the work reflects the artist's return to familiar surroundings after journeys in each direction from her studio. Along these homeward routes, ordinary streets become places of reflection, where the repetition of walking encourages close observation and a deeper connection to place.
Through rich colour contrasts, expressive brushwork and a luminous palette, Thomas transforms a familiar suburban scene into a meditation on shelter, memory and belonging. The overarching canopy and protective walls evoke the sense of enclosure and comfort associated with arriving home, while the vibrant sky hints at the continual renewal found within everyday experience.
