Janet Fletcher's practice involves sculpture, painting, installation, costume, and performance. Stand-alone works are created, then used to produce video performances, during which zany, humorous, useless, and sometimes grotesque actions and sounds react with the artworks and the immediate environment to repulse and attract the viewer.  
The concepts underlining her studio methodology are informed by explorations into the zany aesthetic and its relation to formlessness. She responds to entrenched impressions of contemporary Australia such as national identity, the legacies of colonisation, and aspects of art history.
She creates alternate worlds via the manipulation of a diverse range of materials and objects. Tableaux are constructed, not only to enable her paintings and sculptures to converse with each other, but also for her to interact with them. The art objects that were activated in the performance then continue their 'lives', with their own knowledge of what has passed and their possible futures.
