<br/>Presented by the artist 1982
<br/>
<br/>The first three of the seven <a class="glossarylinktopopup" data-gtm-destination="article-page" data-gtm-name="body_text_link" href="http://www.tate.org.uk/learn/online-resources/glossary/p/print" title="Glossary definition for 'Print'"><span>prints</span></a> which comprise ‘The Janus Suite’ are concerned with the inward-looking aspect of consciousness and the internalisation of experience (see <span>P02465</span>-<span>P02467</span>). The second half of the set (completed in 1979) contains the four prints listed here, and deals with the relationship between the inner self and outward reality. The texts used in the suite are the artist's own poems, written between 1972 and 1978.
