About The Artwork

This colour Biro drawing brings together the haunting memories of different European forests at different moments in military history, where the American Army fought the German Army in the forests of Western Europe and Russian Revolutionaries galloped through Eastern European forests. Featuring Jane's muse Lily as a lone white wolf in the centre of the drawing, the wolf represents 'Nature' caught in the crossfire of conflict. The wolf contemplates the destructive nature of war and stands over the proceedings watching the innocent and guilty on all sides of any conflict. Romanian legend tells of the White Wolf, outcast for looking different as it gains strength from ostracization. Inspired by Band of Brothers HBO and films The Red and the White Miklós Jancsóand and Come and See Elem Klimovas, there is also an implication of a loyal dog's vigil over its dead master.

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.
