ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I was inspired by by the long suffering African peoples, to create this piece, especially the women. I admire the grace, slender elegance and stoicism, in how they carry themselves.I have great respect for them. I hope the viewer will see the wraparound waist showing the slenderness, and feel admiration respect and empathy with the hard life they have. Most of my work is about woman in different situations and at different ages. Clay is one of my favourite mediums as it lends itself to many different finishes. The texture on this piece shows the suffering, the thin waist shown by the wraparound of clay, and the empty breasts drooping, from childhood and lack food. This piece is made in terracotta clay, then fired and patinated in various polishes and stains. Mounted on a solid wooden base, not shown, bringing the total height to 56cms.

Jan McPartland
United Kingdom
I was born in Shoreditch, London some 50 years before it became the global centre of art it is today. My story is that of the area: I grew up in a working-class house, left school aged 15 and saw my artistic impulses frustrated by the vagaries of everyday life: first working my way up in the world of hair and beauty, owning a business aged 18, and then marrying and having children. In my fifties, with my children all having studied at university, I took the chance to devote time to my art in a way I had never been able to before. I channelled much of what I had learned and experienced in the prior decades, creating works themed around what it means to be a woman, a wife, a mother and an artist.
