| In 2011 Jan Nigro exhibited "Lady Chatterley's Lover" which toured to the Whangarei Art Museum. The year before she had re-read D.H. Lawrence's 1928 novel and was interested in the way he revealed the relationships of his story - Lady Chatterley to her husband, the husband to his wife, Lord to Gamekeeper, Gamekeeper to Lady Chatterley. Male to female, female to male. The ways people relate to one another has been an important source of content for Nigro and the reason she returns to the human form as her main source of subject matter. Like Lawrence she has suffered a few battles and like Lawrence she wasn’t the first to work on such themes. It is society’s response that interests her.
