The ‘Jane Morris Museum’ is a non-profit body devoted to the life of Pre-Raphaelite ‘muse’ Jane Morris (1839-1914). An art- and research project.
Dutch artist Margje Bijl was given a photograph of Jane Morris with ‘Previous Life’ written on it. At first glance she thought that it was an altered photograph of herself. In 2009, after discovering Jane Morris’s name and life story, Margje initiated the project ‘Reflections on Jane Morris’.
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. Margje is creating a double biography. She carefully selects the images, objects and stories that either define her connection with Jane Morris or reveal a contrasting portrait of her authentic self.
