About

Digital assemblage of artist Margje Bijl and pre-Raphaelite muse Jane Morris. Photographed by Sipco Feenstra in the 1990s and John Robert Parsons in the 1860s.

The ‘Jane Morris Museum’ is a non-profit body devoted to the life of Pre-Raphaelite ‘muse’ Jane Morris. An art- and research project by Dutch artist Margje Bijl. She is exploring the concept of visualising a double biography by carefully selecting the images, objects and stories that either define her connection with Jane Morris or reveal a contrasting portrait of her authentic self.

Margje’s multidisciplinary approach to Jane Morris reflects her own background, of a wide range of studies from fine art and photography to creative writing and psychology.
