Jane’s work is about recognising a quiet beauty in the ordinary, the unnoticed and the overlooked.
Living in the city this is often found in apparently insignificant details of the built environment and the urban edgelands – the negative space on a wall where something has been removed, the sculptural qualities of abandoned industrial objects, weathered surfaces marked with wear, traces of things gone.
She translates what she notices, the visual language of functional things and the store of material references all around us, into ceramic sculptural objects and wall panels. Re-presented in this way the source is close enough that the things she makes seem familiar but with enough distance that they become abstract and occupy their own space
Using processes and materials that allow for an element of chance – mono-printing from textured plaster with slips and clay or layering glazes that will react with each other – her ceramics play with a balance of unexpected variance and creative control.
Jane is a founder member of haptic/tacit, an artist led collective that creates opportunities to make, show, and explore ambitious modern craft through a series of thematically-driven exhibitions
