Artist's Statement

Jayne's work is based on her love of aerial landscapes, the inspiration of which has been drawn from her observations made during travels through large land masses, the boundaries of which, when viewed from the air become "obvious" but "blurred and ragged." Even though many of them are man-made, in this context they emphasize the interaction between humans and the natural environment.

The wall pieces and sculptural vessels are made from a blended mixture of recycled shredded paper and white stoneware clay. The paper gives the virgin clay greater strength and manipulative properties and thus enables more fragile structures to be produced where ordinary clay would collapse. The paper clay can be ripped and torn creating irregular textural edges, and drawn or embossed as normal paper.
She uses a subtle earthy palette of glazes and oxides to represent a relationship between line and form through a combination of mark-making and layering effects.

Her quest to constantly delight our visual senses with reminders of our original roots continues...

History

Jayne studied at Chichester University where she gained a B.A (Hons) in Fine Art and it was during this period that she concentrated on combining the textural effect of various handmade papers with the visual appeal of landscapes to create the images of the isolated beauty in our immediate surroundings. The rolling furrows in a newly ploughed chalk escarpment are very typical of the inspirational reflections in Jayne's work.

In 1997 Jayne became resident artist at Torquil Pottery in Henley-in-Arden where she has continued to employ the texturally appealing effect of rough torn paper in combination with various clays of the earth, and thus establish her ideas in the permanent media of ceramics.
