Hi, I’m Jayne,
I’m a textile artist based in the Pyrenees Region of Victoria, on Dja Dja Wurrung Country.
Working with recycled and natural fibres on a loom, I bring my photographer’s eye for light, texture and composition to weaving.
My work balances beauty with disruption, exploring memory, environment and contemporary life.

Cucoloris – No one’s lost who finds the moon, 2026
Collaborative work with Tiffany Titshall.
A cucoloris brings light to life, using patterns to cast shadow. In our installation, Jayne’s woven textile – made from thread and paper discards – becomes the cucoloris, letting moonlight fall through treetops, down textured branches, and onto Tiffany’s deep indigo wash and hand-drawn charcoal box gum forest.
Bound panels sway beneath the weave, creating a path of light, shadow, and texture that sets the viewer in the moment, grounded to earth, memory, and place.
Step inside, pocket your phone, walk, listen, remember.
Stop. Slow down. Be.

Icons I & II
Woven denim, cotton silk
73 x 130 x 2cm $660 each
(Currently for sale at EXIT Retail Ballarat)
In ICONS I & II, Jayne Newgreen explores the intersection of textiles, music, and social connection. Hand-cut discarded denim is woven into a hand-painted indigo warp. Manipulating the continuous length of denim to reveal the front and reverse sides Jayne creates tonal shifts that shape the likenesses, of cultural figures: Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue.
The work reflects on music as a unifying force – a powerful medium that dissolves boundaries and brings people together in shared experience. Cave and Minogue, though stylistically worlds apart once came together in an unlikely duet. Both transcend genre, generation, and geography, weaving a social fabric of listeners who feel profoundly connected through sound. Denim itself is a cultural icon: a fabric of workwear, rebellion, and fashion that, like music, provides a means of identity and expression.
Through the slow, deliberate labour of weaving, Jayne highlights the ways textiles and music alike create spaces of belonging, connection, and collective resonance. In ICONS I & II, the fabric of cloth and the fabric of culture converge, honouring the power of art in sound and fibre to weave us together.
Rewired Threads
VHS Video Tape, Wire Cables 155 x 64 x 11cm $440
A woven reflection on technology, memory, and connection.
Using old video tape as warp and computer cabling salvaged from my school’s “computer lab” over 25 years ago as weft, this piece considers the evolution of how we share stories and information.
The materials, once cutting-edge, now obsolete, hold traces of a different digital era – one that shaped how we learned, communicated, and connected.
Though the mediums have changed, the underlying need for human connection remains constant. This work is both a tribute to past technologies and a reminder that it is the people, not the wires, who matter most.

Mapping Truth Melbourne
Paper, $220 [SOLD]
A woven exploration of place and perception, using reconstructed maps. As a visual thinker, I experience the world through imagery – mentally mapping movement, memory, and emotion.
Cartography has always fascinated me: the precision, the structure, the illusion of certainty. Yet maps, while seemingly reliable, often fail to capture the lived truth of a place – what it means to belong, to remember, to feel rooted. In this piece, I disrupt and reweave those rigid boundaries, creating a new geography that reflects my internal landscapes, where memory and meaning override fixed coordinates.
Japan Blue Three Ways
Various indigo dyed threads, silk. $1200
(Currently for sale at EXIT Retail Ballarat)
A playful exploration of weaving without intent -intuitive, experimental, and full of curiosity.
The warp was hand-dyed in Japan during a very special trip, making it deeply personal. I later wove the piece at one of Prue Simmons’ beautiful Immersive Retreats in Hepburn Springs, where the calm of the space allowed the process to unfold naturally.
I let the deep blue silk weft meander through the warp, responding to texture, colour, and flow. There was no plan – just presence. Each thread holds a memory of Japan, a moment of freedom, and the quiet pleasure of simply creating
