'"BROWN BUNNY" RED RIDING HOOD'S CLOAK' Drawing

Born in Edinburgh, Jane constructs intricate multi-layered Biro drawings, sculptures and installations incorporating her drawings and designs products. Her work is impassioned by childhood memoirs, fairy tales, forests, wildlife, films and documentaries. Along with her continuing interest in war and loss Jane's artwork is both beautiful and representational of life's brutal reality. Her meticulous drawings take several months to research and make, and incorporate complex and symbolic drawing layers. Her working process often includes photographing television screens as films or documentaries are played. This produces inspirational images to work from, giving her drawings a cinematic quality. Her work provokes consideration of loss and destruction, creating memorials of lives lived, both human and animal and ways of life and environments lost. Jane lives in South Tyneside with her husband and dog and muse Lily.
